'Total suspended solids' is:

זיהום מוצק

TOTAL= ONE

סך המוצקים המרחפים הוא מדד אחד להערכת רמת זיהום המים

כל החרצפים

suspended - מושהה. מים עומדים מזוהמים

Exhibit B – Total Suspended Solids (TSS) “One measure to evaluate the level of water contamination.” Think of TSS as the bathroom-scale for water quality. Weigh everything that didn’t dissolve—clay flecks, organic bits, yesterday’s glitter—then pretend that single number captures the existential untidiness of the sample. It doesn’t tell you what the particles are, only that you have enough of them to constitute a moral failing in the eyes of the lab technician. But hey, numbers comfort accountants, and the river isn’t filing a rebuttal, so everyone’s happy. 🚬 ⸻ Curator’s note (very quietly): • Soil crusts from low surface tension? Possible, but surfactant-induced repellency is the headline act; crusting is the support band that sometimes shows up. • Clogged sprinklers at > 10 mg L⁻¹? Delightfully garden-centric, yet blissfully unaware of the hydrological party happening upstream. Carry on irrigating, measuring, and, above all, renaming problems until they sound like solutions.
