What does nanogram per liter [ng/L] represent?

Nanogram per liter is a mass-concentration unit expressing one billionth of a gram of substance per liter of fluid, used to report very low concentrations.

When is ton (long) per cubic yard used?

Ton (long) per cubic yard is used to quantify bulk densities of materials like sand, gravel, or coal in construction, engineering, and shipping contexts.

Why is this conversion important?

It helps translate ultra-trace fluid concentrations into bulk density units relevant for engineering and material handling applications.
