About Short Tons
A short ton (also known as a US ton) equals exactly 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kg. It is the standard ton in the United States for coal, scrap metal, aggregate, freight, and agricultural commodities. US electricity, energy, and mining production statistics are reported in short tons or millions of short tons (MMst). American trucking weight limits, rail car capacities, and bulk cargo specifications use short tons. When Americans refer to a 'ton' without qualification, they almost always mean the short ton.
About Nanograms
A nanogram (ng) is one billionth of a gram (10⁻⁹ g). This is the standard mass unit in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology for detecting trace substances. Blood plasma concentrations of hormones, drugs, and environmental contaminants are routinely reported in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A typical therapeutic blood level for many medications is in the range of 10-500 ng/mL. In forensic science, nanogram-level DNA quantities can be amplified by PCR to yield a full genetic profile.
