An indicator that describes the amount of oxygen dissolved in water in molecular form. Expressed in mg/L or as a percentage of saturation
Shows the ability of water to support life and the stability of ecosystems.
A high concentration of dissolved oxygen indicates good water quality, while a low amount indicates organic pollution or eutrophication processes that can lead to the death of fish and other organisms.
Directly related to biological processes, water temperature and chemical reactions
In occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water quality)
In water control of industrial facilities (technological processes, aquaculture)
In environmental studies (assessment of the condition of water bodies, ecosystem monitoring)
