Units explained
Tael
The tael equals about 37.8 grams (ten mace).
From Malay 'tahil'; the Chinese unit is the 'liang'.
East Asian precious-metal and traditional-medicine commerce.
A long-standing East Asian trade weight, with regional variants.
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.
