What Does TOD Stand For?
TOD stands for Total Oxygen Demand
Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) is a water quality measurement that quantifies the total amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic and inorganic substances in a water sample. This parameter is crucial for assessing the pollution level and overall health of aquatic environments, as it provides insight into the potential impact of contaminants on dissolved oxygen levels and aquatic life. TOD is commonly used in environmental monitoring and wastewater treatment processes to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment methods.
