Why is the conversion factor so large between gram/cubic millimeter and milligram/cubic meter?

Because gram per cubic millimeter measures density at an extremely small volume scale compared to milligram per cubic meter, which is based on much larger cubic meter volumes, resulting in a large multiplier.

Can I use this conversion for any type of material?

The converter applies to mass density but users should consider the physical measurement context, especially when comparing micro-scale solids to airborne substances.

Is this conversion suitable for air quality and environmental measurements?

Yes, converting to milligram per cubic meter is common for reporting particulate matter and chemical concentrations in air quality monitoring and industrial hygiene.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent use of units during conversion for accurate results.
Double-check large numerical outputs to avoid errors from the large conversion factor.
Consider measurement context since the units represent different physical settings (solid microvolume vs. gaseous volume).

Limitations

Conversion assumes homogeneity and comparable measurement conditions which may not always apply.
Large conversion factors might cause numerical handling issues if not managed carefully.
Differences in physical context between micro-scale solids and airborne mass concentrations should be taken into account.
