Water-Quality Monitoring and Studies of the Formation and Fate of Trihalomethanes During the Third Injection, Storage, and Recovery Test at Lancaster, Antelope Valley, California, March 1998 Through April 1999
Abstract
Chemical concentration is given in milligrams per liter (mg/L), micrograms per liter ( g/L), or picomoles per liter (pmol/L). Milligrams per liter is a unit expressing the mass of a solute per unit volume (liter) of water. One thousand micrograms per liter is equivalent to 1 milligram per liter, and 1,000 milligrams per liter is equivalent to 1 gram per liter. The numerical value in milligrams per liter is about the same as for concentrations in parts per million, and the numerical value in micrograms per liter is about the same as for concentrations in parts per billion. Micromoles per liter is a unit expressing the number of moles of a solute per unit volume (liter) of water. One million picomoles per liter is equivalent to 1 micromole per liter, and one million micromoles per liter is equivalent to 1 mole per liter. Ultraviolet light absorbance is given in per centimeter (/cm). Wavelength of light is given in nanometers (nm). Specific ultraviolet absorbance is given in liters per milligram per meter [(L/mg)/m] and is equal to the ultraviolet light absorbance in per centimeter multiplied by 100 and divided by the dissolved organic carbon concentration in milligrams per liter. Specific trihalomethane formation potential is given in millimoles per mole (mmol/mol) and is equal to the trihalomethane concentration in micromoles per liter divided by the dissolved organic carbon concentration in millimoles per liter. Bacterial cell density is given in cells per milliliter (cells/mL).
