How the formula works
Both milligram per liter and picogram per milliliter measure the same physical quantity (mass per unit volume), so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in milligram per liter by 1e6 to get picogram per milliliter. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picogram per milliliter value by 1e-6 to get back to milligram per liter.
