TaigaCOD measures the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize (break down) organic and inorganic matter in a water sample, while BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during a biological process that breaks down organic matter. COD typically gives a higher value than BOD because it includes both the chemical and biological oxygen demand in the water sample.

What does FFI do to the body?
Kills the bod.
The chemistry of aquatic ecosystems is determined my what?
This depends on pH, temperature, oxygen concentration (TOD, BOD, COD), concentration of many impurities, radioactivity, water flow speed, biology of the water, etc.
Is a ton greater or lesser than a kilogram?
a tonne is greater than a kilo.
What is BOD in chemistry?
BOD, or biochemical oxygen demand, is a measure of the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by microorganisms to break down organic matter in water. It is often used as an indicator of the level of organic pollution in a body of water, with higher BOD values indicating greater pollution levels. High BOD values can lead to decreased oxygen levels in water, which can harm aquatic life.
