Nutrient conversions

1mg/L of nitrate NO3-N = 4.43mg/L NO3

To convert mg/L of NO3-N to mg/L of NO3 multiply result by 4.43

To convert mg/L of NO3 to mg/L of NO3-N divide by 4.43

1 mg/L of nitrite as N (NO2-N) = 3.28mg/L of nitrite (NO2)

1 mg/L of ammonia (NH3) as nitrogen (N) = 1.22mg/L of ammonia as ammonia

1 mg/L of ammonium (NH4) as nitrogen (N) = 1.29mg/L of ammonium as ammonium

1 mg/L of phosphate (PO4) as phosphorus (P) = 3.066mg/L of phosphate as phosphate
