Synopsis

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) serves as a vital gauge for evaluating organic pollution levels in aquatic ecosystems (Xu et al 2020; Tripathi et al., 2013). It quantifies the oxygen consumed by microorganisms while breaking down organic substances within water. BOD stands as a pivotal marker in water quality assessment, prominently employed in both environmental surveillance and wastewater treatment strategies (Metcalf and Eddy, 2013; Tripathi et al., 2018).
