The amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in water is a function of temperature, concentration of dissolved solids, and atmospheric pressure. An equation developed by APHA (1985) is used to calculate the saturation concentration of dissolved oxygen:
7:3.5.3
where is the equilibrium saturation oxygen concentration at 1.00 atm (mg O/L), and is the water temperature in Kelvin (273.15+C).
