An indicator that describes the transparency of water, measured by the intensity of light scattering due to suspended particles. Expressed in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units)
Shows the quality of water and its suitability for domestic, industrial and ecosystem stability.
High turbidity indicates the presence of wastewater or organic pollution, can reduce the effectiveness of disinfection and pose a health hazard
In occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water quality)
In water control of industrial facilities (technological processes)
In environmental studies (assessment of the condition of water bodies)
