2. Water pH can be measured using three methods, which are by using a pH meter, pH papers, and litmus papers.

3. Pollution can change a water's pH, which in turn can harm animals and plants living in the water. Therefore, it is important to measure the pH of water, especially in terms of ecosystems, since it is used as an indicator of common issues and water nutrient imbalances.

There are two ways to measure pH: 
colorimetrically with indicator fluids or papers and electrochemically with electrodes and a millivoltmeter for greater accuracy (pH meter).

The term "biochemical oxygen demand" (BOD) refers to how much oxygen is used by bacteria and other microorganisms during the aerobic (oxygen-containing) decomposition of organic matter at a particular temperature.

2. The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test is a bioassay method that measures the amount of oxygen consumed by bacteria during the breakdown of organic materials (Sawyer and McCarty, 1978).

"Conductivity is measured through the use of a meter and is usually about 100 times the total cations or anions expressed as equivalents and the total dissolved solids (TDS) in ppm usually ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 times the electrical conductivity.

It is caused by the large number of particles inside the fluid. It is measured in NTU (nephelometric turbidity units). 1/3mg/L of impurity is 1 NTU. An example of measuring  turbidity is in drinking water. According to the WHO (World Health Organization) drinking water should have a turbidity below 1 NTU and not about 5 NTU.]]> 2022-08-22 02:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rheditaolivia/q9zvra9sd839m8v1/wish/2266876675 Turbidity - Asya rheditaolivia https://padlet.com/rheditaolivia/q9zvra9sd839m8v1/wish/2266876776 The turbidity of water is a measurement of how clear or cloudy the water is. The cloudier the water is, the higher the turbidity is. Turbidity measures a liquid’s “relative clarity”, or the amount of light that refracts off materials in a liquid sample. Materials that can cause turbidity includes silt, inorganic and organic matter, clay, algae, and some microscopic organisms.

Turbidity of water is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units, known as NTU for short. Turbidity may also be measured in Formazin Nephelometric Units, or FNU. The nephelometric method compares how light is scattered in a water sample against the amount of light scattered in a reference solution. An electronic hand-held meter is often used to measure turbidity.

Turbidity is used to indicate the presence of pathogens, bacteria, and other contaminants such as lead and mercury which are harmful to both aquatic life and human health. This is why turbidity is measured in drinking water and wastewater systems. ]]> 2022-08-22 02:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rheditaolivia/q9zvra9sd839m8v1/wish/2266876776 Turbidity rheditaolivia https://padlet.com/rheditaolivia/q9zvra9sd839m8v1/wish/2266876839 1.

The scale runs from 0 to 14, with 7 representing neutral. pHs less than 7 indicate acidity, while pHs greater than 7 indicate baseness. The pH of water is a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.  It is critical that we help our bodies achieve and maintain a healthy pH ratio of 70:30 (alkaline to acid). In an overly acidic environment, most diseases, illnesses, and bad bacteria thrive. When pH levels are out of balance, it is usually due to being too acidic.
