Conversion Of mg/kg Into ppm

Edward,

A conversion of mg/kg to ppm is 1:1. To convert to parts per million, you don't need to do anything other than take the mg/kg off the end and add ppm on to the end.

To explain:

1 mg = 0.001 grams
1 kg = 1,000 grams

0.001 / 1,000 = 1/1,000,000 = one ppm.

Greg
