  2. Cancer slope factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    C = Concentration of the chemical in the contaminated environmental medium (soil or water) to which the person is exposed. The units are mg/kg for soil and mg/L for water. IR i = Intake rate of the contaminated environmental medium for age bin "i". The units are kg/day for soil and L/day for water. BW i = Body weight of the exposed person for ...

  3. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Densities using the following metric units all have exactly the same numerical value, one thousandth of the value in (kg/m 3). Liquid water has a density of about 1 kg/dm 3, making any of these SI units numerically convenient to use as most solids and liquids have densities between 0.1 and 20 kg/dm 3. kilogram per cubic decimetre (kg/dm 3)

  4. Hard water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

    1 mmol/L is equivalent to 100.09 mg/L CaCO 3 or 40.08 mg/L Ca 2+. A degree of General Hardness ( dGH or 'German degree' (°dH, deutsche Härte )) is defined as 10 mg/L CaO or 17.848 ppm. A Clark degree (°Clark) or English degree (°e or e) is defined as one grain (64.8 mg) of CaCO 3 per Imperial gallon (4.55 litres) of water, equivalent to 14. ...

  5. Mixed liquor suspended solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_liquor_suspended_solids

    The units MLSS is primarily measured in milligram per litre (mg/L), but for activated sludge its mostly measured in gram per litre [g/L] which is equal to kilogram per cubic metre [kg/m3]. Mixed liquor is a combination of raw or unsettled wastewater or pre-settled wastewater and activated sludge within an aeration tank.

  6. Molality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molality

    The term molality is formed in analogy to molarity which is the molar concentration of a solution. The earliest known use of the intensive property molality and of its adjectival unit, the now-deprecated molal, appears to have been published by G. N. Lewis and M. Randall in the 1923 publication of Thermodynamics and the Free Energies of Chemical Substances. [3]

  7. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    In 1901, at the 3rd CGPM conference, the litre was redefined as the space occupied by 1 kg of pure water at the temperature of its maximum density (3.98 °C) under a pressure of 1 atm. This made the litre equal to about 1.000 028 dm 3 (earlier reference works usually put it at 1.000 027 dm 3 ).

    Here are the conversion factors for those various expressions of wind speed: 1 m/s = 2.237 statute mile/h = 1.944 knots 1 knot = 1.151 statute mile/h = 0.514 m/s 1 statute mile/h = 0.869 knots = 0.447 m/s. Note: 1 statute mile = 5,280 feet = 1,609 meters

  9. Kilogram per cubic metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram_per_cubic_metre

    The kilogram per cubic metre (symbol: kg·m −3, or kg/m 3) is the unit of density in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by dividing the SI unit of mass, the kilogram, by the SI unit of volume, the cubic metre. [1]
