Salinité de 9 x 10-8.

OBS

En français, il convient d'utiliser une puissance de 10. Par exemple, on écrira «9 parties pour cent millions» comme suit : 9 p.p. 108, ou 9 X 10-8, ou encore 9 p/108. On aura compris que, dans l'expression «partie par 10 à la puissance 8», le mot «partie» ne fait que prendre la place du chiffre «x» qui exprime le nombre de particules en cause.

OBS

voir aussi «ppb» («part per billion»), «ppm» («part per million»), «ppt» («part per thousand», or «part per trillion»), and «ppQ» («part per quadrillion»).

OBS

partie par 10 8 : partie par 108
