Summary of correlation of physicochemical parameter with PPCP concentration

Physicochemical parameter	Units	Main characteristics	Correlation with the concentration of PPCPs
Turbidity	NTU	Low turbidity correlates with high salinity	High turbidity will give higher PPCP concentration
pH	pH unit	High pH value reduces the turbidity value	Neutral pH will give higher PPCP concentration
Temperature	0C	Turbidity increases water temperature	High temperature will result to low PPCP concentration
Dissolved oxygen	Mg/L	Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water	High DO results to low PPCP concentration
Salinity	PSU	The total concentration of dissolved inorganic ions in water	High salinity brings about high PPCP concentration
Electric conductivity	μS/m	Correlates with the total dissolved salt ions in water	High EC brings about high PPCP concentration
