10 microgram is 10* 10-3 in 10-1 litres so the ratio can be written as 100/1000 g/l Now you can easily convert it to Parts per billion

Ppm (interms of mass by volume)=
(mass of solute) divided by volume of solution in ltr into ten to the power six.
Given mass of solute 10×10^-6 g
Volume of solution = 0.1 Ltr
On substituting in above equation you get 100 ppm as answer.
