Dissolved solids definition

Dissolved solids means that concentration of matter in the sewage consisting of colloidal particulate matter one micron in diameter or less, and both organic and inorganic molecules and ions present in solution.
Dissolved solids means the amount of materials dissolved in water and is commonly expressed as a concentration in terms of milligrams per liter.
Dissolved solids means the concentration of residue left in an evaporating dish after evaporation and drying at defined temperatures using Environmental Protection Agency methods or standard methods.
