I know the ng means nanogram

But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg

For context I got it from this paragraph

a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans

Would it be

2.1 nanogram per kilogram?

Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?

    “A lethal dose of one point three to two point one (or one and three tenths to two and one tenth) nanograms per kilogram in humans.”

      So are they saying nanograms of the stuff per kilograms of the human?

      In other words are they saying it’s a ratio compared to the weight of the person?
