Question

Hello ❤
How does BOD indirectly measures the amount of organic matter present in the water. ( in refrence to STPs)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed (i.e. demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. The BOD value is most commonly expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per litre of sample during 5 days of incubation at 20 °C and is often used as a surrogate of the degree of organic pollution of water.[1]

Explanation:

BOD reduction is used as a gauge of the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants. BOD of wastewater effluents is used to indicate the short-term impact on the oxygen levels of the receiving water.

BOD analysis is similar in function to chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis, in that both measure the amount of organic compounds in water. However, COD analysis is less specific, since it measures everything that can be chemically oxidized, rather than just levels of biologically oxidized organic matter.

Answer 2

Answer:

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed ( i.e. demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample ... Most natural waters contain small quantities of organic compounds.
