What Does TOC Stand For?
TOC stands for Total Organic Carbon
TOC, or Total Organic Carbon, is a key parameter used to measure the amount of organic carbon present in a sample, typically in water or soil. It reflects the quantity of organic compounds, including both dissolved and particulate organic matter. TOC is an important indicator of water quality and environmental health, as it helps assess the presence of pollutants and the overall organic content crucial for biological activity. Monitoring TOC levels is essential in various fields, including environmental science, water treatment, and soil analysis, to ensure sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations.
