- Turbidity - Wikipedia
Turbidity (or haze) is also applied to transparent solids such as glass or plastic In plastic production, haze is defined as the percentage of light that is deflected more than 2 5° from the incoming light direction [1] Turbidity in open water may be caused by growth of phytoplankton

Lucky for us all, our drinking water is almost always clear (very low turbidity) Other water, such as the creek behind your house after a rainstorm, is likely to be highly turbid—brown with floating sediment Turbidity is the clarity of water and it is an important factor in water quality
- Turbidity - U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
Turbidity is a measure of water clarity High turbidity makes water appear cloudy or muddy Why do we measure turbidity? Turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) are different ways to measure similar water quality characteristics
- What Is Turbidity in Water? (A Water Doctor Explains)
Turbidity in water is a measure of a water's clarity or cloudiness Organic matter, algae, and other microscopic organisms all cause turbidity of a water body
- Turbidity Fact Sheet - Water Boards
Turbidity is a measure of the amount of suspended particles in the water Algae, suspended sediment, and organic matter particles can cloud the water making it more turbid
- What is a turbidity current? - NOAAs National Ocean Service
Turbidity is a measure of the level of particles such as sediment, plankton, or organic by-products, in a body of water As the turbidity of water increases, it becomes denser and less clear due to a higher concentration of these light-blocking particles
- 5. 5 Turbidity | Monitoring Assessment | US EPA
What is turbidity and why is it important? Turbidity is a measure of water clarity how much the material suspended in water decreases the passage of light through the water Suspended materials include soil particles (clay, silt, and sand), algae, plankton, microbes, and other substances
- Turbidity - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Turbidity is a reduction in water clarity because of the presence of suspended matter absorbing or scattering downwelling light, and water is considered turbid when the presence of suspended particles becomes conspicuous
