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.
Troy Ounce
The troy ounce (ozt) equals about 31.103 grams, one-twelfth of a troy pound.
From the Troy system of weights associated with Troyes, France.
The global standard for pricing gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
Established in the medieval Troy system and retained for precious metals.
