INTERFERENCES: Volatile organic compounds are not oxidized to the extent<br />

that they are in the vapor above the digestion solution.<br />

Therefore, they do not contribute to the COD reading.<br />

Contains mercury sulfate to prevent interference from<br />

chloride. Nitrite gives a positive interference of 1.1 ppm O2<br />

per ppm NO2–N, which is insignificant unless nitrite<br />

concentrations are very high. Other reduced inorganic<br />

compounds are stoichiometrically oxidized, causing a<br />

positive interference. Corrections can be made for these<br />

compounds based upon their stoichiometry and<br />

concentrations.<br />

Whenscanningsamplesin16mmtubes,suchasCOD,the<br />

sample chamber lid can not be closed. Use the COD adapter<br />

to minimize stray light interference. To further reduce stray<br />

light interference, do not scan sample in direct sunlight.<br />
