Energy Glossary
PPM
(PARTS PER MILLION) - The unit commonly used to represent the degree of pollutant concentration where the concentrations are small.

Glossary of water terms
parts per million
the number of "parts" by weight of a substance per million parts of water. This unit is commonly used to represent pollutant concentrations.

Physical Geography Terms and Meanings
Parts Per Million ( ppm )
Number of parts of a substance found in one million parts of a particular gas, liquid, or solid.

General Chemistry Glossary
parts per million
(ppm) Concentration expressed as parts of solute per million parts of solution. Usually refers to parts per million by mass. For example, a 10 ppm NaCl solution can be written as: 10 mg NaCl/kg solution, 10 µg NaCl/g solution, 10 ng NaCl/mg solution. In very dilute aqueous solutions, ppm is approximately equal to mg solute per liter of solution.

Parts Per Million (ppm)
Unit commonly used to express contamination ratios, as in establishing the maximum permissible amount of a contaminant in water, land, or air.

Environmental Engineering (English ver.)
Parts per million
Expressed as ppm; a measure of concentration. One ppm is one unit weight of solute per million unit weights of solution. In water analysis the ppm is equivalent to mg/l.

PARTS PER MILLION (PPM)
The number of "parts" by weight of a substance per million parts of water. This unit is commonly used to represent pollutant concentrations. Large concentrations are expressed in percentages.

Parts-per notation
The "parts-per" notations are used to denote low concentrations of chemical elements. Also known as mixing ratios, they are often used to denote the relative abundance of trace elements in the Earth's crust, trace elements in forensics or other analyses, dissolved minerals in water, or pollutants in the environment.
