The amount of oxygen required to oxidise organic substances present in water is
The amount of oxygen required to oxidise organic substances present in water is called:
- A. Dissolved oxygen (DO)
- B. Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
- C. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
- D. The threshold limit value (TLV)
Step-by-step solution
COD measures the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic substances in water, typically using a strong oxidizing agent. BOD measures oxygen used by microorganisms, DO is oxygen dissolved, and TLV is a threshold for toxic exposure.
