Visualizing a part-per-million and a part-per-billion

Basic Concepts in Measurement Science, Gas Concentration Units of MeasurementBy gdadminApril 2, 2018

This one is courtesy of our friends at the American Chemistry Council A part-per-million can be thought of as: A credit card lying in the middle of a football field One step, on a 568–mile (914 km) walk One minute, in a two-year span A part-per-billion can be thought of as: One thousand times smaller…
