BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
7d, 34.72%
14d, 66.89%
21d, 77.62%
28d, 87.66%

Any other information on results incl. tables

The degradation for reference substance (toxicity control) on 7d, 14d, 21d, and 28d were 36.26, 69.45, 79.32 and 90.21%, respectively. So no adverse effects of test substance on inoculum.
