Units explained
Microgram
A microgram (ug) equals 10^-9 kilogram, or one-millionth of a gram.
From the SI prefix 'micro-' (from Greek 'mikros', small).
Trace nutrients, potent drug doses, and environmental contaminant levels.
The micro- prefix was incorporated into the SI in 1960.
Ton (long, UK)
The long (UK) ton equals 2,240 pounds, about 1,016 kilograms.
The British imperial ton, equal to 20 long hundredweight.
UK shipping and historical heavy industry.
Standardized within the British imperial system.
