    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Parts-per_notation

    The examples don't seem to be too accurate. A drop is usually defined as 0.05 ml, which then gives;. 1 drop in 50 ml = 1‰, 50ml is a very small cup 1 drop in 50 l = 1ppm 50 l is about 11 gallons, not 40 1 drop in 50 cubic metres = 1 ppb 1 drop = 1ppt, a 50 m swimming pool is 50*25*2 = 2,500 m^3 1 drop in 50,000,000 cubic metres = 1ppq, 50,000,000 m^3 is equivalent to a lake covering a square ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highly_toxic_gases

    Toxic: a chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC 50) in air of more than 200 parts per million (ppm) but not more than 2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or more than 2 milligrams per liter but not more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for 1 hour (or less if death occurs within 1 hour) to albino rats ...

    where: mg/m 3 = milligrams of pollutant per cubic meter of air at sea level atmospheric pressure and T: ppmv = air pollutant concentration, in parts per million by volume

  6. Carbonyl sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_sulfide

    Carbonyl sulfide is the most abundant sulfur compound naturally present in the atmosphere, at 0.5 ± 0.05 ppb, because it is emitted from oceans, volcanoes and deep sea vents. As such, it is a significant compound in the global sulfur cycle.

  7. Arsenic contamination of groundwater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_contamination_of...

    A drinking water standard of 0.05 mg/L (equal to 50 parts per billion, or ppb) arsenic was originally established in the United States by the Public Health Service in 1942. After the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (SDWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was given the power to set the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs ...

  8. Threshold limit value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_limit_value

    Its units are in parts per million (ppm) for gases and in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m 3) for particulates such as dust, smoke and mist. The basic formula for converting between ppm and mg/m 3 for gases is ppm = (mg/m^3) * 24.45 / molecular weight. This formula is not applicable to airborne particles.
