based on the amount of oxygen needed to stabilize the organic matter in the
sample.

NOTE: Those sample dilutions which deplete less 2 mg/L, or have a final DO of
less than 1 mg/L would not be use in the calculation of the average sample
BOD.

To determine the value of the BOD in mg/l, use the following formula:
D1 D 2
BOD5, mg/L =
P
NOTE: The samples must undergo dilution if they have a BOD > 7, otherwise all the
dissolved oxygen will be used up before 5 days have elapsed. [Note: raw domestic
wastewater typically has a BOD of around 300 mgO2/l].
