An indicator that describes the total amount of organic carbon in water, which is obtained by oxidizing organic compounds to carbon dioxide (CO₂) and measuring its concentration, expressed in mg/L
Shows the total amount of organic matter in water, regardless of their chemical composition
A high TOC value indicates organic pollution, which can affect water quality, promote the proliferation of microorganisms, disrupt disinfection processes and lead to the formation of by-products
This indicator is one of the main water quality parameters, used as a general indicator of organic pollution
In occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water quality, sanitary risk)
In the control of industrial facilities (food industry, pharmaceutical production, technological processes where high-quality water is required)
In environmental studies (assessment of the condition of water bodies, wastewater analysis, organic pollution monitoring)
