Turbidity Standard

The turbidity standard is a certain standard that is necessary to ensure the quality and safety of drinking water. This standard regulates the salt content in water. The less salts in the water, the higher the quality of the liquid. As a rule, the standard salt value (mineralization) is less than 500 mg/liter. The value of “normal” water mineralization is close to 250 mg/liter. The relationship between turbidity and salt content is shown below:

Turbidity standards are the maximum allowable suspended solids content. The purest water is the one in which there are no suspended matter - turbidity. Depending on the type of water, various parameters are used to classify it, for example,
