USING VARIO TOC ANALYZER FOR THE WATER, LEACHATE AND SOIL POLLUTION ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES

This work aims are to determine the organic carbon content of different environments (water, soil) using the Vario TOC analyser, a high-performance instrument for measuring total organic carbon. During the work, experimental determinations were carried out for several types of samples, including wastewater, leachate and contaminated soil, to highlight the transfer of organic carbon under different conditions. Significant variations in total organic carbon (TOC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration were observed, depending on the sample source and the pre-processing process. The analyses revealed a direct correlation between the degree of pollution of the samples and high TOC and DOC values, demonstrating the efficiency of the method in assessing the anthropogenic impact on the aquatic environment.
