Used in environmental and industrial laboratories for calibration of analytical instruments to ensure accurate measurement of phenol levels in water, wastewater, and industrial effluents. Commonly applied in quality control processes for monitoring pollution and compliance with regulatory standards. Also utilized in research settings for developing and validating analytical methods such as spectrophotometry, HPLC, and gas chromatography. Ensures consistency and reliability in detecting phenolic compounds, which are toxic and persistent in ecosystems.
