Dose Lethal Average

The average lethal dose is an indicator of the dose of a substance that causes death in 50% of the animals studied. It is an important parameter for assessing the toxicity of chemicals and establishing their safe use in various fields.

If the average lethal dose decreases, this means that the substance is safer for animals and can be used in lower doses. Conversely, if the average lethal dose increases, this indicates that the substance is more toxic and requires careful monitoring and management.

The study of the lethal average dose is important in assessing the risk of chemical exposure
