Questions and Answers

What is the concentration unit for atmospheric pollutants expressed as parts per million by volume?

  • ppm(1 in 10^6) (correct)
  • ppt(1 in 10^12)
  • %(v/v) or % (mol/mol)
  • ppb(1 in 10^9)
  • What does 1 ppmv (parts per million by volume) represent?

  • 10^-4 % by volume
  • mL/m^3
  • 1 L pollutant / 10^6 L air
  • 1 volume of gaseous pollutant/10^6 volumes of air (correct)
  • How is the concentration unit μg/m^3 defined?

  • M μg/m^3 = 40.9 (molar mass of a gaseous pollutant)
