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.
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)
The gerah was the smallest Hebrew weight, about 0.57 gram (one-twentieth of a shekel).
From a Hebrew word for a small grain or bean.
Ancient Israelite metrology.
Part of the smallest divisions of the biblical shekel.
