What Does NOD Stand For?
NOD stands for Nitrogenous Oxygen Demand
Nitrogenous Oxygen Demand (NOD) is a water quality parameter that quantifies the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the decomposition of nitrogenous organic matter in aquatic environments. It serves as an important indicator of water pollution and the overall health of ecosystems, reflecting the impact of nitrogen compounds on oxygen levels and aquatic life. Monitoring NOD helps in assessing the effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes and understanding the dynamics of nutrient cycling in water bodies.
