Question

A household product with an LD50 of 6 mg/kg of body weight would be expected to cause less harm to the skin and eyes than a product with an LD50 of 600mg/kg.

True
False

Answer 1

false

Step-by-step explanation:

LD50 means median lethal dose.

Answer 2

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

LD50 stands for Lethal Dose (50%). This is a toxicological parameter for determining whether or not a substance is toxic to a particular species after a few days of application and the amount of product applied has decreased by 50% of the amount applied. That is, LD50 refers to the toxicity content of the product at 50% of its quantity.

In this case, we can say that a household product with an LD50 of 6 mg/kg body weight causes less skin and eye damage than a product with an LD50 of 600 mg/kg. Because with 50% of the amount of these products, the product with LD50 of 6 mg/kg has a much smaller amount than the LD50 of 600 mg/kg.
