#FactsFirst |Turbidity refers to how cloudy or unclear water appears — often caused by tiny particles like silt, clay, organic matter, or microorganisms suspended in the water especially during flashfloods. At MPIW, we regularly monitor and test water clarity through 600–800 samples collected from 80 sampling points per month to ensure every drop that reaches your home is safe, clean, and reliable. #MetroPacificIloiloWater #MPIW #SafeAndReliableWater #Turbidity #WaterQuality #SavingEveryDrop | M

Hon. Andrew Holness 🇯🇲 on Instagram: "Minister Samuda provided an update on Jamaica’s recovery efforts: Water systems are operational but limited, with Mona, Hermitage, and Tulloch Springs running on generators and impacted by turbidity. Restoration is underway, with most areas expected to receive water soon. In western Jamaica, the Great River system’s intake pipes were dislodged, affecting about 40% of St. James and Hanover. A temporary intake will be installed, with full repairs expected in

Just another cool lil test in the lab! 🤓 The Sulfosalicylic Acid (SSA) Test 🔬 Some facilities use this as a confirmatory test for protein in urine. When 3% SSA is added, proteins precipitate, and the sample turns cloudy. The more cloudiness, the more protein present. Unlike the standard dipstick, which mainly detects albumin, the SSA test picks up all proteins, including globulins and Bence Jones proteins (important in multiple myeloma). It’s a simple, old-school test, but it tells you a lot.
