Information on Total Organic Carbon:
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Organic matter plays a major role in aquatic systems. It affects biogeochemical processes, nutrient cycling, biological availability,chemical transport and interactions. It also has direct implications in the planning of wastewater treatment and drinking water treatment. Organic matter content is typically measured as total organic carbon and dissolved organic carbon, which are essential components of the carbon cycle. |

Thank You!
BASIN was a community project which benefitted from over 1000 hours of
public volunteer time. BASIN was highlighted by the US EPA
in a national case study in its 2001 handbook Delivering Timely Environmental Information to Your Community.
Thank you to all volunteers, and especially to the late Jim Waterman, BASIN Project Coordinator!
