Abstract

Water turbidity may be examined by measuring the scattered light intensity by suspended particles in comparison with the scattered light intensity in pattern solution that states for a nephelometric method. Water turbidity may be also measured with the use of monochromatic light beam absorption. But a diffraction method has found the broadest use. The method uses indicatrix of scattering as the sizes of the measured particles vary from 0.1 to 2000 μm. The examinations of the Odra River water turbidity have been performed on the basis of a diffraction method. Results of the examinations are plotted in graphs.
