What does kilogram per cubic meter measure?

Kilogram per cubic meter quantifies mass density as the mass in kilograms contained in one cubic meter of volume, used widely in scientific and engineering fields.

When should I use picogram per liter units?

Picogram per liter is best for expressing ultra-trace mass concentrations such as pollutants in water or very low-abundance biomarkers in clinical research.

Why is the conversion factor so large between kg/m³ and pg/L?

Because one picogram per liter represents an extremely small mass concentration (10^-12 grams per liter), converting from kilogram per cubic meter involves multiplying by one trillion.
