(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein oxidizable matter in an aqueous sample is determined.
(1) Note. Three principle oxygen demand tests are Biological Oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen demand (COD) and Total Oxygen demand (TOD). BOD = measure of organic matter in sample in terms of the amount of oxygen the sample will consume when organic matter is eliminated. COD = measure of the organic matter in a sample that is susceptible to oxidation by a strong chemical oxidant. TOD = amount of oxygen required when the combustible materials in a sample burn in the presence of an oxygen containing feed stream.
