What is turbidity?
![Page 11: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is turbidity?n Measure of cloudiness caused by suspended particlesn Turbidity is the measurement of how much light can travel through
water with scattered living or nonliving particles in the watern Usually measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)n Water with high turbidity is murky and dark, and is unhealthy to
aquatic lifen Low turbid water is more transparent and is healthier for aquatic life
![Page 12: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why is turbid water a problem?n Excessive turbidity in drinking water is aesthetically
unappealing, and may also represent a health concernn Turbidity can provide food and shelter for microbes
– By reducing their exposure to attack by disinfectantsn If not removed, turbidity can promote growth of microbes in
the distribution system– Leads to waterborne disease outbreaks which have caused significant
cases of gastroenteritis throughout the United States and the worldn Although turbidity is not a direct indicator of health risk,
numerous studies show a strong relationship between removal of turbidity and removal of protozoa

What is pHn The pH of a liquid is a measure
of its acidity or basicityn Mathematically, pH = - log[H+],
where [H+] = concentration of hydrogen ions in moles/liter
n A pH of 7 is considered neutraln Liquids with pH less than 7 are
acidic and greater than 7 are neutral
n A scale of pH values and common liquids is provided
![Page 14: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
pH Scale
![Page 15: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Alkalinity
n A measure of a liquid’s capacity to neutralize acids – Buffer against changes in pH when an acid is added
n Important in determining a stream's ability to neutralize acidic pollution from rainfall, industry, or wastewater
n Influenced by rocks and soils, salts, certain plant activities, and certain industrial wastewater discharges
![Page 16: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hardness
n Sum of the multivalent cations in a water – Positively charged ions
n The majority water hardness is due to calcium and magnesium ions – Cause scaling in water pipes
![Page 17: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hardness
n Harder waters make it is more difficult to form suds with soap
n Soft waters tend to feel “slimy”
![Page 18: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dissolved Oxygen
n Dissolved oxygen (DO)– The amount of oxygen dissolved in a liquid
n Oxygen concentration in water is important to fish and other aquatic life
![Page 19: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dissolved Oxygen
n Insufficiently treated wastewater released into a body of water can decrease DO concentration
n Nitrogen and phosphorous runoff from fertilizers or from wastewater can cause eutrophication in bodies of water– Leads to decreased DO as plants decompose
![Page 20: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Eutrophicationn Hypertrophication is the
ecosystem response to the addition of artificial or natural substances through fertilizers or sewage, to an aquatic system. – Such as nitrates and phosphates
n “Bloom" of phytoplankton in a water body as a response to increased levels of nutrients
n Negative environmental effects include hypoxia– Depletion of oxygen in the water
which causes a reductions in specific fish and other animals

Conductivity
n Used to measure the ionic content in a solution
n In many cases, conductivity is linked directly to the total dissolved solids (TDS)
![Page 22: Environmental Engineering Linking Mathematics and Chemistry to Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568164f8550346895dd7654e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Total Solids
Dissolved particles (TDS)
Suspended particles (TSS)
Total Solids (TS) = Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) + Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

Salinity ClassificationsFresh Water <1,000 mg/L
Brackish Water >1,000 - 25,000 mg/LSeawater >25,000 mg/L
• United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• TDS is a secondary standard
• < 500 mg/L
• Excessive TDS can be harmful to plant life
