Why convert milligram/cubic meter to picogram/liter?

This conversion allows expressing mass concentration at much finer scales, which is important for measuring ultra-trace amounts in liquids compared to gases.

Is this converter suitable for all concentration ranges?

It is ideal for very low concentrations; converting large values may lead to impractically large numbers in picogram/liter units.

What contexts commonly use these units?

They are used in environmental monitoring, occupational health, water quality testing, clinical biomarker analysis, and analytical chemistry.
