(BOD) Biochemical Oxygen Demand Analysis

Conducting a Biochemical Oxygen Demand Analysis in water is essential for assessing the impact of organic pollutants, guiding wastewater treatment processes, and ensuring regulatory compliance. 

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic matter in water. It is a crucial indicator of water quality, reflecting the degree of pollution from organic waste such as sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial effluents. High BOD levels can lead to oxygen depletion in water bodies, adversely affecting aquatic life and overall ecosystem health.
