What Does TSM Stand For?
TSM stands for Total Suspended Material
Total Suspended Material (TSM) refers to the fraction of particulate matter suspended in a liquid, particularly water, which can include a variety of particles such as sediments, organic matter, and pollutants. TSM is an important parameter in environmental monitoring and water quality assessments, as it influences aquatic ecosystems, water clarity, and the transport of nutrients and contaminants. Measuring TSM helps in understanding the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in freshwater and marine environments.
