What Does TDS Stand For?
TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) refers to the concentration of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid, primarily water, that are soluble in it. These solids include salts, minerals, and metals, and are typically measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L). TDS is an essential parameter in water quality assessment, influencing taste, safety, and ecological health. High TDS levels can indicate pollution or the presence of contaminants, while low levels are generally associated with cleaner water sources. Monitoring TDS is crucial in various industries, including environmental science, water treatment, and agriculture.
