Biochemical oxygen demand, it is the oxygen used by a sample of water in a period of time, and it is used to measure water pollution since high pollution usually results in high BOD.
Biokemisk iltforbrug, det er den ilt, der forbruges af en vandprøve i en periode, og det bruges til at måle vandforurening, da høj forurening normalt resulterer i højt iltforbrug.
