Specific Ultraviolet Absorption definition
Specific Ultraviolet Absorption. (SUVA) means specific ultraviolet absorption at 254 nanometers (nm), which is an indicator of the humic content of water. It is a calculated parameter obtained by dividing a sample’s ultraviolet absorption at a wavelength of 254 nm (in m-1) by its concentration of dissolved organic carbon (in mg/L).
Specific Ultraviolet Absorption or "SUVA" means specific ultraviolet absorption at two hundred fifty-four nanometers, an indicator of the humic content of water. It is a calculated parameter obtained by dividing a sample's ultraviolet absorption at a wavelength of two hundred fifty-four nanometers in meters to the minus one by its concentration of dissolved organic carbon, the fraction of the total organic carbon that passes through a zero point four five micrometer pore diameter filter, in milligrams per liter.
Specific Ultraviolet Absorption or "SUVA" means an indicator of the humic content of water as a calculated parameter obtained by dividing a sample's ultraviolet absorption at a wavelength of 254 nanometers by its concentration of dissolved organic carbon in milligrams per liter.

Specific Ultraviolet Absorption means an indicator of the humic content of a water at 254 nanometers (nm). It is a calcu- lated parameter obtained by dividing a sample’s ultraviolet absorption at a wavelength of 254 nm (UV254) (in m-1) by its concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (in mg/L).
