We cannot find water in its purest form in nature as even rainwater gets mixed with dust and gases and becomes impure while it passes through the atmosphere. Also, rainwater gets mixed with organic and inorganic substances on the earth’s surface. A portion of this polluted rainwater that percolates into the ground again dissolves several salts and minerals. Also, the water that runoff to water bodies gets mixed with dust, dirt, harmful chemicals, biological contaminants, etc., making it even more polluted.
The impurities in the water can be generally classified as dissolved impurities and suspended impurities. The presence of impurities in water affects the colour, taste, odour, turbidity, temperature etc., of the water. Some of these impurities make the water unsafe for human consumption.
The salts and gases that get dissolved in water are the dissolved impurities. The dissolved impurities can be carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, magnesium, iron, dissolved gases etc. Suspended impurities in water are the impurities that are not completely soluble in water. It affects the turbidity of the water. The turbidity of water is the measurement of water clarity or transparency. The suspended impurities in the water can be silt, clay, algae, fungi, organic and inorganic matter, mineral matter etc.
Effect of Suspended Impurities in Water
Suspended impurities in water are suspended solids that remain in suspension in water. Suspended solids are larger than 2 microns in size. These solids can be gravel, silt, sand or clay. The small particles that break away from the decomposing of plants and animals can also remain suspended solids in water. Some suspended solids get settled at the bottom of the water over time. But some solids need to be removed to make the water safe for human consumption. The suspended solids can also affect aquatic life.
The suspended solids can be disease-causing microorganisms such as viruses, parasites, and harmful bacteria. These microorganisms can cause nausea, cramps, diarrhoea, and or headaches. These solids can also affect water’s taste and odour, making drinking undesirable. Suspended solids such as algae can block the sunlight from reaching underwater plants, affecting the growth of plants.
How to Remove Suspended Impurities in Water?
Most suspended solids in water can be removed by sedimentation or filtration. However, if it is for human consumption, it is safe to use a water purifier. Water can contain dissolved impurities and suspended impurities. A good purifier is required to remove all the impurities from water.
