Turbidity testing in Ethiopia
Turbidity is the cloudiness of water caused by suspended particles. It matters beyond appearance, because particles shield microorganisms from disinfection and soak up chlorine. Palintest measures it on nephelometric meters in NTU, with field instruments that run on batteries and read in seconds.
Why it matters in Ethiopia
WHO guidance is that turbidity should ideally be below 1 NTU for disinfection to be effective. Surface sources and shallow wells swing hard between the dry season and the rains, so turbidity is usually the first thing to check when a residual that normally holds suddenly disappears.
