Show hintHide hint
What would happen if we had inconsistent results?
3Question 3.
What does BOD stand for?
- Biological Oxygen Demand
- Biochemical Oxygen Demand

4Question 4.
True or False: Quality Control is unnecessary if the method is standard.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider whether you trust results without checks.
Question 5.
A water sample from a river has a BOD of 20 mg/L. After dilution and testing, you find the BOD drops to 5 mg/L due to the dilution factor of 5. Discuss potential quality control measures that could yield more accurate results.
Show hintHide hint
What factors could interfere with diluted samples?
Question 6.
Suppose a wastewater contains microorganisms but registers low oxygen consumption. Propose investigative strategies to resolve this conundrum.
Show hintHide hint
Consider both the food and the environment of the microorganisms.
