Dissolved Organic Carbon

Most Common

Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) refers to the organic carbon fraction dissolved in water, pivotal in aquatic ecosystems for its role in nutrient cycling and energy flow. It originates from decomposing plant and animal matter, as well as from terrestrial runoff, making it a key indicator of water quality and ecosystem health.

In construction, managing DOC levels is crucial for stormwater management and preventing pollution. High DOC concentrations can lead to oxygen depletion in water bodies, affecting both aquatic life and construction projects near waterways. Understanding DOC dynamics helps in designing effective water treatment and erosion control measures, ensuring sustainable construction practices.
