Answer:

COD stands for 'Chemical Oxygen Demand' where BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Demand. ... COD is normally higher than BOD because more organic compounds can be chemically oxidised than biologically oxidised.

Answer:

COD is normally higher than BOD because more organic compounds can be chemically oxidised than biologically oxidised. This includes chemicals toxic to biological life, which can make COD tests very useful when testing industrial sewage as they will not be captured by BOD testing.
