He would be speaking of dissolved ionic compounds, measured by a total dissolved solids type of meter. Without further analysis it is not possible to know the composition of the solids, only the level of total impurities.

Hi, When you write "ppm" you don't say ppm of what?

It's been mentioned here before that one should not use the last cup of water that comes out of a steam distiller (for making CS).

Out of interest I measured the ppm of an early cup of water from my gallon distiller and compared it with the last cupfull. Initial tap water reading was 325 ppm.

Early cup: 3.4uS  (1 ppm)
Last cup: 7.6 uS (3 ppm)
The initial ppm was 325 ppm.

Clearly theres a major deterioration in water quality when you start to boil off those last dregs in the distiller.
