COD or Chemical Oxygen Demand definition. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the capacity of water to consume oxygen during the decomposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic chemicals such as Ammonia and nitrite.
Oxygen is a gas and its molecules do exert a pressure but, like glucose, oxygen also has a finite content in the blood, in units of ml O 2 /dl blood. To remain viable tissues require a certain amount of oxygen per minute, a need met by a requisite oxygen content, not oxygen pressure. (Patients can and do live with very low PaO 2 values, as long as their oxygen content and cardiac output are adequate.) The oxygen carrying capacity of one gram of hemoglobin is 1.34 ml.
