Primary clarifier effluent was analyzed for solids content by ananalytical laboratory. A 250-mL sample of the effluent was filteredthrough a laboratory (1 micrometer) filter. A 241-mL sample of thefiltrate contained 89 mg of salts as dissolved solids (Residue 1).Solid residue from the filtration was dried overnight at 105 deg Cand weighed 37 mg (Residue 2). What were the concentrations oftotal dissolved solids, total suspended solids, and total solids inthe primary clarifier effluent?
