An indicator that describes the amount of phosphorus in water in the form of phosphates (PO₄³⁻). Expressed in mg/L
Shows the concentration of biologically available phosphorus compounds in water, which have a direct impact on the stability of ecosystems.
A high concentration of phosphatinis phosphorus promotes eutrophication, leads to intense algal blooms and oxygen deficiency in water bodies
In occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water quality)
In water control of industrial facilities (wastewater analysis)
In environmental studies (assessment of the condition of water bodies)
