I know the ng means nanogram
But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg
For context I got it from this paragraph
a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans
Would it be
2.1 nanogram per kilogram?
Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?
You can say “nanograms per kilogram.” You could shorten it to “nanograms per kilo.”
If it were mg/kg, you could say “migs per kig.” You won’t trick me into saying the equivalent for nanograms, though.
Edit: Not sure what you mean by how to write it as a decimal number. It’s 0.0000000021g per kg. It wouldn’t be standard to give just a ratio of like mass to mass because as others have written it is mass of substance vs mass of patient.
What’s wrong with nags? Isn’t that a term for a rundown horse or something?
2.1 ppt (parts per trillion)

That’s true, I have been wrong on my natural gas.
Hell yeah. I know that one. Hold on, I’m gonna inject a very small portion of that into my face. Now you know I’m happy.
