Blood is denser than water and 1 mL of blood has a mass of approximately 1.055 grams, thus a mass-volume BAC of 1 g/L corresponds to a mass-mass BAC of 0.948 mg/g. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, and Switzerland use mass-mass concentrations in their laws, [ 6 ] but this distinction is often skipped over in public materials, [ 12 ...
Jamaica: The law states that the legal alcohol limit is 35 μg/100 mL alcohol in breath or a blood alcohol level of 80 mg/100 mL alcohol in blood. [35] Trinidad and Tobago: 35 μg/(100 mL) BrAC, 80 mg/100 mL BAC [36] [37] Cayman Islands: 0.10% BAC [citation needed]
For example, a breathalyzer measurement of 0.10 mg/L of breath alcohol characterises approximately 0.0001×2251 g/L, or 0.2251 g/L of arterial blood alcohol concentration (equivalent to 0.2251 permille or 0.02251% BAC). [16] The ratio of venous blood alcohol content to breath alcohol content may vary significantly, from 1300:1 to 3100:1.
In contrast, only 16 percent of those involved in fatal wrecks have BAC levels under 0.08 (and the number is even lower for those specifically in the .05 to .07 range who would presumably be ...
Concentrations above 30 mg/L caused continuous coughing and tears, and concentrations above 40 mg/L were described as intolerable, suffocating, and impossible to bear for even short periods. Breathing air with concentration of 15 mg/L ethanol for 3 hours resulted in BACs from 0.2 to 4.5 g/L, depending on breathing rate. [83]
Whether you're on the road or don't feel like preparing a big feast, here are fast-food places open on Thanksgiving, from Taco Bell to Burger King to Subway.
The blood alcohol content (BAC) for legal operation of a vehicle is typically measured as a percentage of a unit volume of blood. This percentage ranges from 0.00% in Romania and the United Arab Emirates; to 0.05% in Australia, South Africa, Germany, Scotland, and New Zealand (0.00% for underage individuals); to 0.08% in England and Wales , the ...
The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits fell again last week, but many laid-off workers are experiencing long bouts of joblessness, keeping the door open to ...
