Key Points
Turbidity is a significant water quality parameter that measures the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles suspended in it.
- It is an essential indicator of water quality and is commonly used to assess the clarity and cleanliness of water.
- Turbidity is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU).
- NTU is a unit of measurement used specifically to quantify the amount of suspended particles in water that scatter light, causing turbidity.
- The higher the NTU value, the cloudier or more turbid the water is, indicating a higher concentration of suspended particles.
pH (which measures the acidity or alkalinity of water), and micrograms per cubic meter (which could be used for measuring the concentration of certain pollutants in the air or water, but not turbidity).
Therefore the correct answer is NTU Nephelometric Turbidity Units.
