  2. Very low solute concentrations are often expressed using appropriately small units such as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb). Like percentage (“part per hundred”) units, ppm and ppb may be defined in terms of masses, volumes, or mixed mass-volume units.

  4. Use this concentration unit conversion tool to easily convert between parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb), and parts per trillion (ppt). Essential for accurate and efficient concentration conversions in chemistry, environmental science, pharmaceuticals, and health safety.

  5. Definition. Parts per billion (ppb) is a unit of measurement used to express the concentration of a substance in a solution or mixture. It indicates how many parts of a substance are present in one billion parts of the total mixture, making it a vital metric for assessing trace amounts of gases and pollutants in the atmosphere.

    PPM stands for parts of gas per million parts of air, and PPB is parts per billion. If that's not easy to imagine, try these examples: Part per million (ppm): 1 second in just under 2 weeks. 1 litre of water in a swimming pool. Part per billion (ppb): 1 second in 32 years. 1 ml of water in a swimming pool (that's about the size of a sugar cube).

  7. Parts per billion (ppb) is a unit of measurement used to express the concentration of one substance in a solution. It denotes one part of solute per billion parts of the total solution.

  8. They are abbreviations for the words parts-per-million, parts-per-billion, and parts-per-trillion. These symbols have become commonplace in everyday use, in the media for example, as well as in scientific and technical contexts.
