    This document provides conversion factors between parts per billion (ppb) and micrograms per cubic meter (μg m-3), and parts per million (ppm) and milligrams per cubic meter (mgm-3) for several air pollutants according to the European Commission and World Health Organization at different temperatures and pressures. It also notes that nitrogen oxides (NOx) are expressed as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter PM10 data from TEOM monitors are multiplied by 1.3.

    Conversion Factors Between ppb and µg m-3 and ppm and mgm-3

    On the UK Air Quality Archive, and for reporting data to the European Commission, the
    appropriate conversion factors at 20oC and 1013 mb are used.

    Pollutant EC WHO
    20 oC and 1013mb 25oC and 1013mb
    Ozone 1 ppb = 1.9957 µg m-3 1 ppb = 1.96 µg m-3
    Nitrogen dioxide 1 ppb = 1.9125 µg m-3 1 ppb = 1.88 µg m-3
    Carbon monoxide 1 ppm = 1.1642 mg m-3 1 ppm = 1.15 mg m-3
    Sulphur dioxide 1 ppb = 2.6609 µg m-3 1 ppb = 2.62 µg m-3
    Benzene 1 ppb = 3.2430 µg m-3 1 ppb = 3.19 µg m-3
    1,3-butadiene 1 ppb = 2.2452 µg m-3 1 ppb = 2.21 µg m-3

    NOx in µgm-3 is expressed as NO2. i.e. (NO ppb + NO2 ppb) * 1.91 = NOx µgm-3.

    In the UK Indicative gravimetric equivalent PM10 data are calculated from TEOM
    monitoring data by applying a default factor of 1.3.
