Talk:Oxygen saturation

message: I added the medical sense of the word here and redirected dissolved oxygen here.  Maybe these should all be on separate pages, but I didn't think there was enough content to justify 3 pages.  Anyone else have thoughts?  It would be great if someone could add more content and justify a split.   Jmeppley 19:27, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: The data given for oxygen saturation at various temperatures gives data that is inconsistent with the weiss equation, 3 lines below.
:Do not know what values you are getting for the Weiss equation, but the three sets of parameters give correct (100%) saturation values by the equations I use in my work. Possibly there is a typo in the equation? - Marshman 16:53, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistent data 

message: Someone deleted the Weiss equation, so I replaced it.  The constants are correct, and I tested the equation successfully for three values of T.  Don't forget that the USGS tables lists DO saturation in mg/L, but the Weiss equation calculates in ml/L.  You must multiply the solution from the Weiss equation by 1.4276 to obtain mg/L. -- S.C.

thread_title:  Replaced equation and constants 

message: just a question- what conversion should be used for dissolved oxygen when changing from mg/l to % saturation. 
kind regards

You would divide your concentration by the saturation concentration, making certain that the units are the same. 216.59.251.240 18:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  dissolved oxygen in water 

message: Is it my misunderstanding that in abbreviation, oxygen saturation in medicine is referred to as "sats"? If so, then shouldn't this article redirect from sats? I was trying to find out more about it but couldn't get past it. Josh LeePAGE|TALK 15:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Medical term 

message: Since Oxygen saturation in Medicine and Oxygen saturation in Environmental science are almost completely different things, shouldn't they be separate articles? -OOPSIE- 06:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes! I don't know anything about either subject, but it is really goofy as it stands.  We need a modestly expert editor to merge the environmental material into an appropriate geo-science article, assuming one exists (it must, surely) and assuming what we have here is not entirely redundant.  Wwheaton (talk) 07:01, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I did it after searching around a bit, moving the environmental material to Oxygenation (environmental).  Some question if the title of either article is right, but at least the material is in separate articles.  Wwheaton (talk) 07:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So shouldn't the part about the environment in this part be changed? That's why I came here. I am working to understand the pollution in US waterways. BradyDale (talk) 20:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shouldn't this be two articles? 

message: I came to this page with one question, and I couldn't find the answer.  Is the pH of water shifted by the presence of dissolved oxygen?  If not, is it because O2 does not dissociate?  And should anything be said about what happens when ozone is injected into water as a disinfectant?  And what about a link to hydrogen peroxide? blackcloak (talk) 06:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  pH? 

message: This looks like raw filler, not punctuated, utter gibberish. It should be either drastically edited by someone knowledgeable --- if indeed there is any content there, or simply deleted.

thread_title:  Section titled "Oxygen dissolved in leaf" 

message: I would love to work on this wiki page sometime.  There is a lot of information missing regarding oxygen saturation, particularly coming from an oceanography perspective. My biggest question is where do you get the symbol SO2 for oxygen saturation?  I've never seen that before, so I assume it's a physiology term?  As a chemist however, I can't help but read it as SO2 (aka sulphur dioxide). If it's alright, I'd like to add a bit to the article over the next little while.
