Si tratta di un dosaggio di medicinale non specificato. Non riesco a capire la relazione tra 5 milligrammi ed M3.

5 mg/m3
Explanation:
If the product is a purification substance for water pipes, for example, then the 5 mg/m3 makes sense, considering the debit of pipes is measured in m3. I’ll leave it as is.

Explanation:
Se si tratta della concentrazione di una sostanza in un gas o in un fluido la notazione ha senso (per esempio una sostanza che è presente alla concentrazione di 5 mg per metro cubo d'aria o di solvente).


Oppure, è solo un ipotesi, potrebbe essere un refuso per m2, cioè metri quadrati; molti farmaci (per esempio i chemioterapici) vengono dosati secondo i metri quadrati di superficie corporea (e non secondo il peso del paziente come altri).
