Interferences
yPositive error
– Bromine
– Chlorine Dioxide
– Iodine
– Oxidized Manganese and Chromium
– Ozone
yAlkalinity above 250 mg/L CaCO3 or acidity above
150 mg/L CaCO3will not reliably develop the full
amount of color or it may rapidly fade.
yTo resolve this, neutralize the sample with diluted
HCl or NaOH.
yIn case of water with hardness greater than
500mg/LCaCO3, shakethesample forapproximately
2’after adding the powder reagent.
