What does LD50 measure?
LD50 (short for lethal dose 50) is the dose of a substance at which it kills 50% of test subjects.
True or False. Does a chemical with a LD50 of 1000mg over kg have less toxicity than one with LD50 of 100mg over kg?
true,however LD50 just provide coarse idea and specific adverse effect also need be considered.

What is the difference between a toxin and poison?
The way that toxic materials are defined is by how well they kill rats. This is called the "Median Lethal Dose" or LD50. It is usually expressed as "LD50, Oral, Rat" meaning that the subjects were specially bred, white, Norway rats and the dose was given by mouth. The dose is presented as milligrams per kilogram of rat.The U.S. EPA and OSHA define a toxin as a substance that has an LD50 of 500 mg/Kg or less. Acutely toxic materials have an LD50 of 50 mg/Kg or less.The U.S. DOT defines poison as a substance with an LD50 of 200 mg/kg or less.
