Why convert mg/m³ to cg/L?

Converting milligram per cubic meter to centigram per liter helps compare mass concentrations between gases or aerosols and liquids, especially in environmental and laboratory contexts.

Can this conversion be applied directly to any sample?

Caution is needed because mg/m³ measures gaseous or aerosol concentrations, while cg/L typically applies to liquids, so the sample matrix may affect results.

Does this conversion consider temperature or pressure effects?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not factor in temperature or pressure variations impacting gas volumes.
