What does milligram per cubic meter measure?

It measures mass concentration by specifying the milligrams of a substance contained in one cubic meter of volume, commonly used for airborne particles.

When is petagram per liter used?

Petagram per liter describes extremely high mass densities in fields like astrophysics and nuclear physics, such as neutron star core densities.

Why are values very small after conversion?

Because the petagram per liter unit is vastly larger, converting small concentrations from milligram per cubic meter results in very tiny numbers.
