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?

    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?
