Why is the converted value from pg/L to g/mm³ so small?

Because liters and cubic millimeters differ vastly in volume; converting from a large to an extremely small volume unit results in very tiny numerical values.

Can I measure picogram per liter concentrations directly in gram per cubic millimeters?

Direct measurement is generally not feasible due to the extremely small scale; indirect estimation and high-precision instruments are often necessary.

In which fields is converting pg/L to g/mm³ most useful?

It is mainly useful in environmental monitoring, clinical research with low-abundance biomarkers, and microfabrication or material science involving micro-scale densities.
