Oxygen Chemistries
Oxygen chemistries are fundamental analytical tools used in water quality testing to measure dissolved oxygen levels, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in water samples from municipal systems, wastewater treatment facilities, and environmental monitoring programs. These chemical reagents and test methods help water utilities assess the biological activity, organic contamination levels, and overall health of water bodies by determining how much oxygen is consumed during biological and chemical processes. Public health officials and environmental regulators rely on oxygen chemistry analysis to ensure drinking water meets safety standards, monitor the effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes, and detect pollution sources that could threaten aquatic ecosystems and public water supplies.
