What does milligram per cubic meter measure?

It expresses the mass of a substance in milligrams contained in one cubic meter of volume, often used for airborne particles or gases.

Why convert mg/m³ to mg/L?

To translate air or gas phase concentrations into aqueous solution concentrations, facilitating environmental monitoring and regulatory reporting.

Are mg/m³ and mg/L equivalent units?

They measure mass concentration but apply to different media—mg/m³ for gases and mg/L for liquids—so their equivalence depends on context and volume consideration.
