Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality. High turbidity can have a range of negative effects on aquatic ecosystems. For example, it can block sunlight from reaching submerged aquatic plants, hindering their ability to grow. It can also settle on the bottom of water bodies, smothering the eggs of fish and other aquatic organisms.
Turbidity is typically measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). These units are determined by nephelometers, which
