No. 1 ppb = 1 ug/L or 1 microgram per liter. You can find conversion charts on the web (http://waterontheweb.org/resources/conversiontables.html) Yes, ng/mL is equivalent to parts per billion. While it is true that 1 ppb = 1 ug/L, it is equally true that 1 ng/mL = 1 ppb. They are the same sice 1 ng is 1/1000 of a ug and 1 mL is 1/1000 of a L. All that has changed is the units, but they remain equivalent.

Yes, micrograms per milliliter (µg/ml) is equivalent to parts per million (ppm) when referring to the concentration of a substance in a liquid. It signifies the amount of a substance per unit volume of the liquid.

No. Micrograms per ml is the same as milligrams per litre, which means parts per million (ppm). Regarding ppm, a gram and a ml are seen as equivalent, so there are a million micrograms in a gram (which is a millilitre). Now on the other hand, micrograms per litre is ppb.

Yes it is. Ppm means parts per million, and this assumes that a gram and a ml are equivalent. So parts per thousand would be microgram per microlitre. Then a million is microgram per millilitre.
