Key Points

  • NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit) is the unit used for measuring turbidity of water.
  • Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of water, typically caused by suspended particles.
  • Higher turbidity levels can indicate the presence of pollutants or microorganisms.
  • The NTU scale measures how much light is scattered by particles in the water.
  • The more particles present, the higher the turbidity, and thus a higher NTU value.
  • Hence, the correct answer is Turbidity of water.
