What does grain per cubic foot (gr/ft^3) measure?

It measures mass density as grains (64.79891 mg each) of mass per cubic foot of volume, often used for air moisture content and particulate concentration.

Why use picogram per liter (pg/L) as a unit?

Picogram per liter expresses extremely low mass concentrations useful for detecting trace pollutants, biomarkers, and analytes in liquids.

Is this conversion suitable for both air and water samples?

While gr/ft^3 is used mainly for air measurements, pg/L applies to low concentrations typically in liquids; careful interpretation is required when converting across these media.
