Correction to my last post regarding selenium in fish tissue in Crowsnest Lake
My brain was thinking one thing and my fingers entirely another.
In providing the (parts per) conversion of μg/g I wrote that it equals ppm or parts per million. It should have read μg/g = ppb (parts per billion).
My apologies for causing any confusion and brain fog beyond my own.
Cheers!
Did you correct it in the actual article? It's been shared...
I think you were correct initially: 1 microgram of selenium per gram of fish tissue (dry) could be considered a ppm. A microgram of selenium in a liter of water (which is commonly how we measure it) is a ppb. Good article!
