Re: Water Quality B/C
Does anyone know what type of pollution (sediment, nitrates, phosphates?) the pollution tolerance classes refer to?

Re: Water Quality B/C
SALT means a metal and a nonmetal in an ionic bond. Table salt is a special salt, NaCl.
CaCO3 is also known as limestone, or calcite. It is also a salt, just not table salt.
