Calculating Particulate Matter Concentration in PPM
< Prev
Next >

A sample of urban air contains suspended particulate matter at a concentration of 50 μg/m³. Given that the density of air is approximately 1.2 kg/m³ (with 1 kg = 1000 g), estimate the concentration of particulate matter in parts per million (ppm) by mass. (Hint: Use the conversion (mass of pollutant/mass of air) × 10^6.)

A

Approximately 42 ppm

B

Approximately 0.042 ppm

C

Approximately 0.42 ppm

D

Approximately 4.2 ppm
