In ecology, biochemical (biological) oxygen demand (BOD) is an indicator for the concentration of biodegradable organic matter present in a sample of water. It can be used to infer the general quality of the water and its degree of pollution. BOD measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms in the sample of water at a fixed temperature and over a given period of time. ...
