The 16 pages that link to Biochemical oxygen demand, each with the reason it gives.

• Wastewater treatmentRelated: It indicates the organic load that biological treatment must reduce.

• Water qualityRelated: High demand can deplete oxygen and reveal substantial biodegradable pollution.

• Dissolved oxygenRelated: This test estimates how strongly organic pollution may deplete oxygen.

• BiodegradationRelated: It estimates the oxygen burden associated with biodegradable water pollution.

• Constructed wetlandRelated: Its reduction indicates removal of biodegradable organic pollution.

• Chemical oxygen demandCompared with: BOD measures biological degradation, whereas COD measures chemical oxidation.

• WheyRelated: Whey’s biodegradable lactose and proteins can create high oxygen demand if released untreated.

• Sewage treatmentRelated: A drop in this measure indicates that biological treatment has removed biodegradable pollution.

• Hypoxia (environmental)Related: It measures the microbial respiration that removes dissolved oxygen during organic matter breakdown.

• Organic matterRelated: Organic matter in wastewater can raise oxygen demand and deplete oxygen available to aquatic life.

• Septic tankRelated: It helps characterize the organic pollution remaining in septic tank effluent.

• Activated sludgeRelated: Its reduction indicates how much biodegradable organic pollution the process removes.

• Septic systemRelated: Organic matter in septic effluent can consume oxygen as soil microbes continue treatment.

• Peracetic acidRelated: Peracetic acid residues can affect aquatic organisms and wastewater treatment, making discharge control relevant.

• SewageRelated: This measure indicates how much oxygen sewage's biodegradable material can remove from waterways.

• Wastewater quality monitoringRelated: It indicates biodegradable organic pollution and the oxygen demand that treated effluent may impose downstream.
