Toxicity2

Toxicity is an important characteristic of chemical compounds, which is determined by the ability of a substance to cause adverse effects on human health or other organisms. It can be measured in different ways and under different conditions, but one of the most common methods is to calculate the toxicometric index, which makes it possible to estimate the lethal dose or lethal concentration of a toxic substance.

Toxicity is a term that refers to the danger of a toxic substance to living organisms. Toxicometry is the measurement of the toxicity of a substance using specific parameters. There are different methods for determining the toxicity of substances, but the most common is GOST "Determination of the toxic dose when determining the impact of harmful substances in the air of the working area."

A toxicometer allows you to measure the degree of exposure to a toxic substance on the human or animal body over a certain period of time, for example, 4 hours or 8 hours. To measure a toxicometer, a certain amount of toxic substance must enter the body, which often leads to poisoning, and the body loses the ability to cope with the poisoning.
