What Does POC Stand For?
POC stands for Purgeable Organic Carbon
POC, or Purgeable Organic Carbon, refers to a fraction of organic carbon in water or soil that can be removed or "purged" by specific chemical or physical processes. It serves as an important indicator of organic pollution and is utilized in environmental assessments to evaluate the health of ecosystems and the effectiveness of remediation efforts. Monitoring POC levels helps in understanding the impact of human activities on environmental quality and aids in the management of natural resources.
