What does petagram per liter (Pg/L) measure?

Petagram per liter (Pg/L) quantifies mass density as one petagram (10^15 grams) of mass per liter of volume, suitable for expressing extremely large mass concentrations.

When should I use microgram per liter (µg/L)?

Microgram per liter (µg/L) is used to report trace amounts of mass in liquids, such as contaminants in water or low-level substances in biological fluids.

How large is the conversion factor from Pg/L to µg/L?

One petagram per liter equals 10^21 micrograms per liter, representing a conversion of extremely large densities to trace concentration units.
