  • ND — Non-Detect. This is good as it means that the constituent could not be detected at all.
  • ppm — parts per million. Roughly the same as 1 inch in 16 miles. ( or for the frat boys: 1 drop vermouth/ 80 fifths gin)
  • ppb — parts per billion. The same as having one bad penny in $10 million dollars.
