Measuring Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a method used for:
1. estimating the amount of organic matter in sewage water.
2. working out the efficiency of oil driven automobile engines.
3. measuring the activity of Saccharomyces cerevisae in producing curd on a commercial scale.
4. working out the efficiency of RBCs about their capacity to carry oxygen.
