Tóm tắt

The case is made for wider implementation of the European Community absorbance method for measuring colour in raw and potable water. Colour measurement techniques and the difficulties associated with them are examined. A simple graphical method for converting non-standard wavelength absorbance records to the EC 400 nm standard is outlined.
