Microgram (µg). A microgram is one millionth of a gram, used for vitamins, medicines and trace amounts.
Kilotonne (kt). A kilotonne is 1,000 tonnes (one million kilograms).
There are 1 × 10⁻¹⁵ kilotonnes in one microgram.
Multiply the number of micrograms by 1 × 10⁻¹⁵. For example, 10 micrograms equal 1 × 10⁻¹⁴ kilotonnes.
One kilotonne equals 1,000,000,000,000,000 micrograms.
1 × 10⁻¹² kilotonnes. Other common values: 100 micrograms = 1 × 10⁻¹³ kilotonnes and 10,000 micrograms = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ kilotonnes.
