About Pounds per day
The pound per day (lb/d) equals 0.45359237/86400 ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁶ kg/s, used in wastewater engineering for reporting biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loads, nutrient loadings, and sludge production. US NPDES permits set effluent mass-load limits in lb/d; a municipal WWTP serving 10 000 people generates roughly 1 500-3 000 lb/d of dry sludge solids. 1 lb/d ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁶ kg/s.
About Milligrams per hour
The milligram per hour (mg/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ kg/s, adopted in transdermal drug-patch pharmacokinetics to express dermal absorption rate. A nicotine patch typically releases 14-21 mg over 24 h, corresponding to ≈0.58-0.88 mg/h. Environmental emission tests for laboratory fume hoods also express contaminant escape in mg/h. 1 mg/h = 1/3600 mg/s.
