Calculating LD50 of sarin from lethal inhalation dose
593028 Calculating LD50 of sarin from lethal inhalation dose The lethal inhalation dose of sarin for a 200lb. person has been determined to be 0.0015mg.
Determine the LD50 of sarin that researchers used to calculate this lethal inhalation dose.

Therapeutic and toxic doses
Identify a chemical that demonstrates Paracelsus's important principle of toxicology: "the dose makes the poison". In other words, pick a chemical that is toxic at one type of exposure, but beneficial with other types of exposure.

Dose-Response Information Learned
Similarly, the toxic effect of a drug can be determined by plotting the percent of individuals killed against the dose. This curve can be used to determine the dose that is lethal to 50% of the population.

Enviromental Effects of Chromium
The amount of copper sulfate that is lethal to one-half (50%) of experimental animals fed the material is referred to as its acute oral lethal dose fifty, or LD50. The LD50 for copper sulfate is 30 mg/kg in rats.

Chromium and its effects upon Ingestion
For humans, the estimated lowest lethal dose is 71 mg/kg for chromium (oxidation state not identified) (Sax and Lewis, 1989) and 1-5 g for unspecified Cr(VI) compounds (Leonard and Lauwerys, 1980; Langard and Norseth, 1986).

Terrorism & Significance of the Aum Shinnikyo attack
Sarin, which comes in both liquid and gas forms, is a highly toxic and volatile nerve agent developed by Nazi scientists in Germany in the 1930s. Chemical weapons experts say that sarin gas is 500 times more toxic than cyanide gas.

Biological warfare and biochemistry effects in humans
The U.S. developed in 1987 a 'binary sarin artillery projectile', in which two relative nontoxic precursors of sarin was held in separate containers. When the piece was fired, the two liquids combined to create sarin.
