Many resources you find show mg/L the same as ppm, but its not exactly true.
Pure water at standard temperature and pressure has a density of 1 kg/L, therefore:
mg/L = mg/kg = ppm
But that is only true when using pure water at standard temperature and pressure. Any other substance will have a different density and will not be a direct conversion between mg/L and ppm.
