Turbidity is often used when discussing the quality of liquids, particularly water, in various environments.

Measurement Context

High turbidity can indicate that it's difficult to see through a liquid because of the particles in it.

Visual Impairment

While technical, 'turbidity' can be used metaphorically in non-scientific contexts to describe unclear situations.

Non-Technical Use

Turbidity is a standard term in environmental science used for water testing and regulations.

Science Standard

Turbidity measurements use units like NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) that may be encountered in scientific readings.

Turbidity Units

High turbidity implies that less light penetrates the water, affecting aquatic life and human activities.

Impacts Visibility

 So how can you tell whether the water you have access to, whether from a tap or otherwise, is drinkable? Firstly, too much turbidity, trace organic compounds, or high-density heavy metals like arsenic, chromium, or lead,
