Answer / naresh tondepu
mcg is microgram, which is just a unit of mass like gram,
mg etc.
whereas ppm (parts per million) is concentration i.e no of
units per unit volume, like mg/mL etc.

PPM:
This is a way of expressing very dilute concentrations of
substances. Just as per cent means out of a hundred, so
parts per million or ppm means out of a million. Usually
describes the concentration of something in water or soil.
One ppm is equivalent to 1 milligram of something per liter
of water (mg/l) or 1 milligram of something per kilogram
soil (mg/kg).
mcg:
mcg = microgram = 1/1000 of a mg (milligram) There are one
thousand micrograms in one milligram.
Hardly we can say there is no much difference between these
two.

My question about gas chromatography sulfur chemiluminsecence detector. I test unknown sample gas by GC-SCD (calibrated ) and the result of *H2S is 279 PPM , *but when I test the same sample with the GC-TCD (calibrated ) the value of *H2S is 2500 PPM . I'd like to inform you that both GCs are calibrated and have very good operation conditions with stable parameters . the question is if the sample gas with higher H2S over detection limits of SCD detector (1000 ppm). why the result it 279 ppm Best regards
