  2. Water testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_testing

    Wastewater analysis. All facilities in the United States that discharge wastewater to surface waters (e.g. rivers, lakes or coastal waters) must obtain a permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, a Clean Water Act program administered by EPA and state agencies. The facilities covered include sewage treatment plants ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. EPA Methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPA_Methods

    The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains and approves test methods, which are approved procedures for measuring the presence and concentration of physical, chemical and biological contaminants; evaluating properties, such as toxic properties, of chemical substances; or measuring the effects of substances under various conditions.

  5. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

    Total dissolved solids is another parameter acquired through a separate analysis which is also used to determine water quality based on the total substances that are fully dissolved within the water, rather than undissolved suspended particles. TSS is also referred to using the terms total suspended matter (TSM) and suspended particulate matter ...

  6. Effluent guidelines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effluent_guidelines

    EPA has published many methods in its regulations, [4] and has approved the use of other methods published by peer-reviewed sources, such as Standard Methods. [5] Although the effluent limitations are based on the performance of control and treatment technologies (and not the impacts to receiving waters), the regulations do not require ...

  7. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    An EPA scientist samples water in Florida Everglades. Samples of water from the natural environment are routinely taken and analyzed as part of a pre-determined monitoring program by regulatory authorities to ensure that waters remain unpolluted, or if polluted, that the levels of pollution are not increasing or are falling in line with an agreed remediation plan.

  8. MBAS assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBAS_assay

    A methylene blue active substances assay, or MBAS assay, is a colorimetric analysis test method that uses methylene blue to detect the presence of anionic surfactants (such as a detergent or foaming agent) in a sample of water. An anionic surfactant detected by the color reaction is called a methylene blue active substance (MBAS). [1]

  9. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    The two principal methods of measuring total dissolved solids are gravimetric analysis and conductivity. [4] Gravimetric methods are the most accurate and involve evaporating the liquid solvent and measuring the mass of residues left. This method is generally the best, although it is time-consuming.
