Parts-per Units Introduction

Parts per million (ppm) represents the quantity of a specific component per million units. Specifically, 1 part per million equals 1 unit of a substance in 1 million units of a solution or mixture. For example, a concentration of a certain pollutant in water is 5 ppm, meaning there are 5 units of the pollutant per million water molecules.

Parts per billion (ppb) represents the quantity of a specific component per billion units. Specifically, 1 part per billion equals 1 unit of a substance in 1 billion units of a solution or mixture. For example, a concentration of a certain gas in the air is 20 ppb, meaning there are 20 units of the gas per billion air molecules.

Parts per trillion (ppt) represents the quantity of a specific component per trillion units. Specifically, 1 part per trillion equals 1 unit of a substance in 1 trillion units of a solution or mixture. For example, a concentration of a certain trace element in seawater is 3 ppt, meaning there are 3 units of the trace element per trillion seawater molecules.

Parts per quadrillion (ppq) represents the quantity of a specific component per quadrillion units. Specifically, 1 part per quadrillion equals 1 unit of a substance in 1 quadrillion units of a solution or mixture. For example, a concentration of a certain chemical in the air is 1 ppq, meaning there is 1 unit of the chemical per quadrillion air molecules.
