The usual BOD measuring systems used for monitoring the degradation of biodegradable materials are applied for the assessment of biodegradation exclusively in aquatic tests by detecting the amount Of O-2 consumed during degradation. In our study, a new, solid test application of a BOD system optionally capable to detect CO2 evolved during degradation is presented. After the optimisation of sample concentration and test temperature, the measurement set-up possessing relatively small reaction vessels of 250 ml with 80 g of soil mix proved to supply reliable and reproducible results. The system was optimised with microcrystalline cellulose-used as reference material in aquatic and solid test as well-showing 89.3 +/- 3.2% degree of degradation after 21 days, and it was applied for the assessment of biodegradation of commercially available non-powdered (films and kraft-paper) samples indicating degrees of degradation between 24.9 and 55.4%.
