UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance) measures the percentage of 254 nm light passing through water, directly tied to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and natural organic matter (NOM).
UVA (UV Absorbance) logs 254 nm absorption by organics as a rapid surrogate for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and DOC accelerating coagulant and disinfectant dosing.
