About Grams per cubic centimetre
The gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) equals 1000 kg/m³, the most intuitive density unit in material science and chemistry. It equals 1 kg/L and 1 t/m³. Pure water at 4°C is 0.9998 g/cm³; aluminium 2.70 g/cm³; iron 7.87 g/cm³; gold 19.30 g/cm³; osmium 22.59 g/cm³. Polymer datasheets, mineralogy, and gemological tables routinely use g/cm³. 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ ≈62.428 lb/ft³.
About Micrograms per cubic metre
The microgram per cubic metre (µg/m³) equals 10⁻⁹ kg/m³, the standard unit for ambient air quality reporting. WHO 2021 guidelines set annual mean limits for PM2.5 at 5 µg/m³ and PM10 at 15 µg/m³; NIOSH REL for nuisance dust is 10 000 µg/m³. Urban background air typically contains 10-50 µg/m³ of total suspended particles. 1 µg/m³ = 10⁻⁹ kg/m³ = 10⁻⁶ g/m³.
