Turbidity sensors are in situ water quality sensors that measure the cloudiness, or turbidity, of a liquid caused by suspended particles. Turbidity sensors are nephelometers that emit light and detect the amount of light scattered by particles within the water sample. These sensors are used for assessing sediment levels and pollution in rivers and lakes, and monitoring the water quality of drinking water and industrial processes.
