Hello,
there are two distinct measuring concepts at play here:
- SUMO gives you milligrams of matter. This is more or less computed from a
model of the energy use / fuel consumption of the vehicle. (You know how
much CO2 is emitted from the amount of fuel that is burned)
- Whenever you measure air pollutants with a sensor you measure the
concentration in the air either in parts per million (ppm) or in grams per
cubic meter (mg/m3).

ppm can be converted to mg/m3 but you cannot easily convert mg into mg/m3
because that requires a model of what happens between the motor and the
sensor. If you measure at the side of the road you need to account for all
kinds of environmental conditions (humidity, wind ...) and even if you
measure at the tailpipe you need to know what else is mixed into the
exhaust gas (I'm no expert at this).

regards,
Jakob
