To measure BOD, a sample is seeded and incubated in the dark at
20°C for five days. The dissolved oxygen concentration is then
measured and subtracted from the initial, pre-incubation, dissolved
oxygen concentration. The difference is a measure of the biochemical
oxygen demand, or BOD of the sample.
