2. pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

   Pure water has a pH of 7 at 25 °C, meaning it is neutral. When an acid is dissolved in water, the pH will be less than 7, while a base , or alkali , will have a pH greater than 7. A strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid , at concentration 1 mol dm −3 has a pH of 0, while a strong alkali like sodium hydroxide , at the same concentration, has ...

3. pH indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_indicator

   A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually or spectroscopically by changes in absorption and/or emission properties. [1] Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H 3 O +) or hydrogen ions (H +) in the ...

4. Freshwater environmental quality parameters - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_environmental...

   pH in rivers is affected by the geology of the water source, atmospheric inputs and a range of other chemical contaminants. pH is only likely to become an issue on very poorly buffered upland rivers where atmospheric sulphur and nitrogen oxides may very significantly depress the pH as low as pH4 or in eutrophic alkaline rivers where ...

5. pH meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_meter

   A pH meter is a scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH. [2] The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a

   Testing water in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. After events such as earthquakes and tsunamis, there is an immediate response by the aid agencies as relief operations get underway to try and restore basic infrastructure and provide the basic fundamental items that are necessary for survival and subsequent recovery.

7. Wastewater quality indicators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

   Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, indicators of fecal ...
