BOD full form stands for Biological Oxygen Demand. It is a parameter to measure the amount of dissolved oxygen in water consumed by organic matter, like microorganisms. It is a fundamental indicator of the organic pollution level in water bodies. Organic matter like sewage or industrial discharge reduces the oxygen in water when it enters a water source. This reduced oxygen level can harm aquatic life and disturb the ecological balance.
