A hot pink dye was released into a slough system by a green house to dye flowers for Easter. Should be take a BOD and COD to determine the effects of this pollution?
Well,
BOD is an indicator for bacteria presence.
Regards
COD is indirect measure of total organics
BOD is indirect measure of bio-degradable organics
If you are interested yo know about non- bio degradable organics and bio-degradable organics, you will confuct both test.
Non- bio degradable = COD - BOD
As part of the solution, it is possible.
