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

Microgram per liter quantifies trace mass of a substance in a liter of liquid, commonly used in environmental and analytical chemistry.

How is milligram per cubic millimeter (mg/mm³) used?

It expresses mass density at microscale volumes, such as in materials science, microfabrication, or biomedical samples.

Why is the conversion factor so small between these units?

Because microgram/liter relates to mass per liter of liquid and milligram/cubic millimeter relates to mass per a much smaller solid volume unit, resulting in a factor of 1e-9.
