Turbidity Units
Turbidity units
are a measure of the cloudiness or
haziness of a fluid
caused by large numbers of
individual particles
that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to
smoke in air
. The most common units used to quantify turbidity are Nephelometric
Turbidity units
(NTU) and
Formazin Nephelometric Units
(FNU), which are based on the
scattering of light
by
suspended particles
in the fluid.
