What Does NOC Stand For?

NOC stands for Nonionic Organic Contaminants

NOC, or Nonionic Organic Contaminants, refer to a category of organic chemicals that do not carry an electric charge and are often resistant to conventional water treatment methods. These contaminants can include a wide range of compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and industrial chemicals, which may persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Monitoring and managing NOCs is crucial for protecting water quality and ecosystem health, as their presence can pose risks to both human and environmental safety.
