1 For the first time in 20 years, federal health authorities have lowered the recommended limit for lead exposure in young children, which they say could add 200,000 children to those believed to have unsafe lead levels in their blood.
The volume can be measured in cubic meters, cubic centimeters, or liters. The units of the three-dimensional volume depend on the units of length-if the lengths are in meters, the volume will be in cubic meters, etc. To measure a square or cube: Volume = length times width times height.
Volume is said to be a derived unit, since the volume of an object can be known from other measurements. In order to find the volume of a rectangular box, for example, one only needs to know the length, width, and depth of the box. Then the volume can be calculated from the formula, V = l Â· w Â· d.he basic unit of volume in the metric system is the liter (abbreviated as L), although the cubic centimeter (cc or cm 3) and milliliter (mL) are also widely used as units for measuring volume.
