strong oxidizing agents and these chemical reactions create what is measured in the laboratory as the Chemical oxygen demand (COD). Both the BOD and COD tests are a measure of the relative oxygen-depletion effect of a waste contaminant. Both have been widely adopted as a measure of pollution effect. The BOD test measures the oxygen demand of biodegradable pollutants whereas the COD test measures the oxygen demand of oxidizable pollutants. The so-called 5-day BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed

They were a group of people unaware what will greet them across the vast‚ open ocean; taking their chances knowing the journey would prove both costly and frustrating.

Introduce this section with the food chain discussion card called ‘Under the sea’. Food chains are a flow of energy Food webs exist in a delicate balance. If one animal’s source of food disappears‚ perhaps from a natural cause such as a drought or a killer disease‚ many other animals in the food chain are affected. Some populations may decline‚ and some explode. Humans are usually at the top of the chain and are often responsible for disrupting food webs. All living things depend

degree of organic pollution of water.5 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is very similar to BOD. It also is used to measure organic compounds in water and is a useful measure of water quality. This test differs from BOD as chemicals are used to measure oxygen requirements in place of biological organisms. COD values are always larger than BOD values as COD ensures ALL organic material is broken down.5 In short‚ the lower the BOD and COD values of a chemical deicer‚ the less the product will affect the
