Biochemical
Oxygen Demand
(B.O.D )

BOD
The
biochemical
oxygen
demand is defined as the
measure of dissolve oxygen
require to decompose the
organic matter in water
biologically.
Pure water has < 1ppm
Polluted water >5ppm

ENGAGE

RIVER
A

RIVER B

UPSI student visited to 2

river around Tg. Malim to
complete their task in
doing exp. To study the
sample of river of water

The other
river has
clean and
clear water.

They found that one

of the river polluted
and more fish died .

So they took the

sample of the
river and study
the content of
the water.

In your
opinion why
fish died??

Higher BOD, means that there is

dissolved oxygen in the water, as
aerobic bacteria uses up nearly all
of it for respiration.

Hence less dissolved oxygen

available for the fish to use for

respiration, So fish will died.

From your observation what

is deference between river A
and river B?

Which water has low

content of the oxygen ?
why??

PROCEDURE
1. 5 beaker were labelling with A, B, C, D and E.

2. 100 mL of pond water are collected and pour into beaker A.

3. *The D.O probe was placed in the beaker A to read the initial D.O

concentration directly.
4. The result were recorded in Data Logger Spreadsheet Program.

5.

Steps 1 to 4 were repeated by using different samples of water

which are drain water, distilled water, aquarium water and pipe
water which the samples of water is poured into beaker B, C, D
and E respectively.

6. The samples were let until 5 days and D.O probes was
placed again in these samples to read the final D.O
concentration.
7.
BOD value was determined by the following
formula:
B.O.D value = Final D.O Initial D.O
p

*Note that, before put the sensor into the next sample
of
water, rinse the sensor with distilled water.

CONCLUSION
BOD will increase because of the
presents aerobic microorganism
High BOD give potential to water
pollution
Ways to overcome:
-Individual awareness
-Government responsibilities
