Calculate the total amount of mercury you ingest per day (i.e., divide your total mercury ingestion by 30 days), and then calculate the amount you ingest per your body weight per day (1 kg = 2.2 lbs. or 1 lb = 0.454 kg) 213.3 µg/g Hg/30day
So far I have 7.11 µg/g Hg per day (total mercury I ingest per day)
70kgs body weight
µg per g of body weight
you weigh 70000 g
.00000711 * 70000 = ?
Thank you Scott
To calculate the total amount of mercury you ingest per day, you need to divide the total mercury ingestion by 30 days.
Given that the total mercury ingestion is 213.3 µg/g Hg/30day, the calculation would be as follows:
213.3 µg/g Hg/30day ÷ 30 = 7.11 µg/g Hg per day
So, the total amount of mercury you ingest per day is 7.11 µg/g Hg.
To calculate the amount you ingest per your body weight per day, you first need to convert your body weight from kilograms to pounds. Since 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, the calculation would be:
70 kg × 2.2 lbs/kg = 154 lbs
Now that you have your body weight in pounds, you can calculate the amount of mercury you ingest per your body weight per day.
Given that the total amount of mercury you ingest per day is 7.11 µg/g Hg, the calculation would be:
7.11 µg/g Hg × 0.454 kg/lb (conversion factor) = 3.23 µg/kg Hg per day
Therefore, you ingest approximately 3.23 µg of mercury per kilogram of body weight per day.
