Lowest published lethal dose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In toxicology, the LDLo (Lethal Dose Low) is the lowest dosage per unit of bodyweight (typically stated in milligrams per kilogram) of a substance known to have resulted in fatality in a particular animal species. When quoting an LDLo, the particular species and method of administration (e.g. ingested, inhaled, intravenous) are typically stated.
