About Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
About Liters
A liter (L) is the fundamental metric unit of volume, equal to one cubic decimeter (1 dm³ = 1,000 cm³ = 1,000 mL). Since its adoption as part of the metric system in 1793, the liter has become the world's most widely used volume measurement for liquids. Bottled water, soft drinks, wine, milk, and engine oil are all routinely sold by the liter globally. One liter of pure water at 4°C weighs almost exactly one kilogram - a convenient property that makes the liter central to everyday science, cooking, and industry worldwide. The liter is also written 'litre' in British English.
