Water

Water is one of nature's most precious resources and forms the basis of life. Therefore, the protection and assessment of water quality is of utmost importance for environmental health and human health. Water analyses examine the content of water to detect contaminants, determine the availability of water and measure its impact on the environment. 

Importance of Water Quality

Water quality is a component of the physical, chemical and biological properties of water. Water quality needs to be high for human consumption, agriculture, industrial use and ecosystem health. Various parameters are used to assess water quality, including chemicals, microorganisms, physical properties and biological factors. High water quality depends on the following factors:
  • Provision of clean water: Providing drinking water for people.
  • Agriculture and irrigation: Water with suitable properties for healthy and productive agriculture.
  • Industrial uses: Water is used for cooling, cleaning and solubilization in many industrial processes.
  • Ecosystem health: Water quality needs to be appropriate for aquatic life to survive.

Water Pollution and Types

Water pollution is the increase of harmful substances in water in such a way that the natural balance is disrupted. Water pollution can generally be classified into three main categories:
  • Physical Pollution: Deterioration of the physical properties of water, for example water turbidity or temperature changes. This is usually due to the mixing of soil, mud or wastewater.
  • Chemical Pollution: Contamination of water with harmful chemicals. This includes heavy metals (lead, mercury), pesticides, liquid waste, acidic or basic substances and organic chemicals.
  • Biological Pollution: Occurs when harmful microorganisms enter the water. These microorganisms are usually pathogenic bacteria, viruses or parasites.
In addition to threatening people's health, water pollution can also cause major damage to ecosystems. For this reason, water pollution detection is part of environmental management and protection strategies.

In our laboratories serving in many parts of Turkey, "Water Analysis" is carried out in accordance with legal regulations and standards related to TURKAK accreditation.
