In municipal sewage, BOD values (in ppm) are:

  • 1-5

  • 100- 4000

  • 50-90

  • 20-40


B.

The amount of oxygen required by bacteria to break down the organic matter present in a certain volume of a sample of water is called biochemical oxygen demand(BOD). The amount of BOD in the water is a measure of the amount of organic material in water in terms of how much oxygen will be required to break it down biologically. Clean water have BOD value less than % ppm whereas highly polluted water such as municpal sewage has BOD value more than 100ppm.
