WHAT DOES IMPURITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Impurity

Impurities are substances inside a confined amount of liquid, gas, or solid, which differ from the chemical composition of the material or compound.

During production, impurities may be purposely, accidentally, inevitably, or incidentally added into the substance. The level of impurities in a material are generally defined in relative terms. Standards have been established by various organizations that attempt to define the permitted levels of various impurities in a manufactured product. Strictly speaking, then, a material's level of purity can only be stated as being more or less pure than some other material.
