5 Days BOD - Itsuka Kan B O D

…The BOD value expresses the degree of pollution of sewage and industrial wastewater in terms of the amount of oxygen, and indicates the amount of oxygen required to oxidize and stabilize them in public waters when they are discharged into the water. It is an important indicator for maintaining the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water and managing a good water environment where fish and other creatures can live. Measurements are performed using a special test method that uses microorganisms, and since it usually takes five days, it is sometimes called the 5-day BOD or BOD 5. It is generally used in conjunction with other indicators of water pollution, and is also an indicator for determining whether organic substances can be decomposed by microorganisms or are difficult to decompose. …
