Best Answer

One part per billion (ppb) denotes one part per 1,000,000,000 parts, one part in 109, 1/1,000,000,000 * 100% = 0.0000001% (or 1% = 10,000,000 ppb) and a value of 1 × 10−9. This is equivalent to one drop of water diluted into 250 chemical drums (50 m3), or about three seconds out of a century.
