Why TOC Organic Matters in Water Analysis
This comprehensive article explains why TOC Organic (total organic carbon) is a vital water quality parameter for labs and treatment plants. We compare TOC to COD, BOD and DOC, review TOC analysis methods (combustion, UV/persulfate, etc.) with a decision table, and highlight TOC’s applications in environmental, pharmaceutical and industrial settings. We cover sampling best practices, the latest innovations (IoT-connected analyzers, portable sensors, AI data tools) and future trends, ending with a practical call-to-action for water labs and plants.
