Concentrations of chemicals in water are typically measured in units of the mass of chemical (milligrams, mg or micrograms, µg) per volume of water (liter, L, l). Concentrations in water can also be expressed as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb). ... Occasionally, concentrations of chemicals in water may be written as grams per cubic meter (g/m³). This is the same as grams per 1,000 liters, which may be converted to milligrams per liter (mg/L). Therefore, 1 g/m³ = 1 mg/L = 1 ppm.  1, record 7, English, - gram%20per%20cubic%20metre

dry standard cubic meters (dscm): Concentration of contaminants in gases emitted from sources (such as cement kilns) are generally expressed as a weight of that material per a volume of gas. Emissions from sources often contain water vapor from evaporation of water in the processed material or as water from combustion of hydrocarbons. This amount varies from source to source and at variable temperatures from source to source. To make an emission rate meaningful for comparison to another source or to a permit limit, the emission rate must be stated as a weight per (dry) gas at standard conditions. The specific standard conditions are set by the applicable authority, often a national laboratory group.  3, record 9, English, - dry%20standard%20cubic%20meter
