What does microgram per liter (µg/L) measure?

It measures the mass concentration of a substance, specifically one microgram of substance per liter of liquid, commonly used for trace amounts.

When should I use gram per cubic millimeter (g/mm³)?

Use g/mm³ to describe mass density in extremely small volumes, such as in microfabrication, microscale materials, or MEMS technology.

Why is the conversion factor so small between µg/L and g/mm³?

Because 1 µg/L equals 1e-12 g/mm³ due to the differences in volume units and the very small scale of mass involved.
