Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurements provide insights into the composition and cleanliness of water resources, aiding in environmental monitoring and ensuring water safety
Total suspended solids (TSS) refer to visible particles floating or suspended in water, such as sediments and organic matter, making the water appear cloudy.
High amounts of suspended solids in lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams can have harmful effects on the ecological system including the following:
Monitoring solids downstream of discharge from sewage treatment plants, industrial plants or extensive crop irrigation is crucial to maintaining the overall health of the receiving water bodies.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) are not visible but consist of dissolved particles like minerals, salts, and chemicals.
While TDS is not considered a primary pollutant, it is an indicator of water quality as it relates to drinking water palatability. High levels of dissolved solids can have negative effects including the following: Water with high amounts of dissolved solids is unpalatable for consumers and may be unsuitable for bathing or cleaning.
