Given the four sample locations which are A, B, C and D have total dissolved solids(TDS) of 0.001g, 0.0025g, 0.0045g, and 0.0024g. By looking at the Total Dissolved solids of sample locations which of these is highly contaminated?

1 answer

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels can indicate the presence of contaminants in water. Generally, higher TDS values suggest greater levels of dissolved substances, which can include minerals, salts, and organic materials.

In the given sample locations, the TDS levels are as follows:

  • Location A: 0.001 g
  • Location B: 0.0025 g
  • Location C: 0.0045 g
  • Location D: 0.0024 g

Among these, Location C has the highest TDS at 0.0045 g. Therefore, based on TDS levels, Location C is the most contaminated site of the four locations.
