Which of the following is a way to organize chemical agents that manifest most of their symptoms within seconds or minutes....?
Acute toxicity LD50 by type of damage done by route of poisoning - ingestion, injection, skin contact, inhalation
How much ammonium nitrate would be lethal to an adult?
Toxicity to Animals: Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 2217 mg/kg [Rat]. The LD50 [Human] is unknown as such an experiment would be unethical.
What is the name of a reference tool that is produced by chemical manufacturers that provides information on the chemical identify of the hazardous material its known acute and chronic effects?
MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet
Can you be poisoned by drinking potassium chloride dissolved in water?
Bear in mind that toxicity is always a combination of the material in question, and the dosage. Pretty much anything can, in sufficient dosage, be toxic. Potassium Chloride (KCl) dissolves easily in water. In giant sized doses it is in fact toxic to humans. But you'd know you were drinking it (as it tastes salty) and in all likelihood you'd vomit it back up long before acute toxicity sets in. As it's not a cumulative, chronic toxicity is not a factor here. So, can you be poisoned by drinking KCl? Not without knowing it. And not without a lot of effort on your part. And even then I have my doubts.
What is the formula used in calculation of ld50 of a substance?
LD50 ('50%-Lethality' dose) is a meaured value from many statical investigations. So there's only a good definition on how it should be 'measured' and can not be calculated from other values by formula.
What type of hazard does hazard class 6 represent?
Hazard Class 6 contains poisonous materials (6.1) and infectious agents (6.2). Division 6.1: Poisonous material is a material, other than a gas, which is known to be so toxic to humans as to afford a hazard to health during transportation, or which, in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity:Is presumed to be toxic to humans because it falls within any one of the following categories when tested on laboratory animals (whenever possible, animal test data that has been reported in the chemical literature should be used):Oral Toxicity: A liquid with an LD50 for acute oral toxicity of not more than 500 mg/kg or a solid with an LD50 for acute oral toxicity of not more than 200 mg/kg.Dermal Toxicity. A material with an LD50 for acute dermal toxicity of not more than 1000 mg/kg.Inhalation Toxicity: A dust or mist with an LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation of not more than 10 mg/L; or a material with a saturated vapor concentration in air at 20 °C (68 °F) of more than one-fifth of the LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors and with an LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors of not more than 5000 ml/m³; or
Difference between a acute hazard and hazard?
A hazard may be dangerous. An acute hazard is very dangerous.

What minerals are toxic?
once again...this question CANNOT be answered as is, it needs to be more specific. -are you asking about oral, demal or inhalation toxicity? -are you asking about acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, or carcinogenic toxicity? -if asking about acute toxicity, are you asking about slightly toxic, moderately toxic, or highly toxic? -what is the context: mineral collection, stone carving, or mining?
What are the symptoms of acute toxicity?
Some loss of balance, laughter, calmness, your warm
Is holmium poisonous?
Yes holmium has a low level of acute toxicity.
What does acute copper toxicity feel like?
Acute toxicity due to ingestion of too much supplement, for example, may cause nausea, vomiting , abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headache , and a metallic taste in the mouth.
What minerals are poisonous?
depends: -there are different routes of exposure: oral, dermal or inhalation? -there's a difference between toxicity from a single dose (acute toxicity) or from repeated exposures (chronic toxicity)? -acute toxicity can be ranked depending on median lethal dose: highly toxic, moderately toxic, or slightly toxic?
