Oral Toxicity Question: How is Oral Toxicity defined and reported? Answer: Oral toxicity is reported as an Oral LD50, the lethal dose at which 50 percent of a population of animals will die when exposed orally. Oral toxicity is often used to estimate toxicity from other routes of exposure by using safety factors ranging from 1/1,000 to 1/100,000 of an Oral LD50. Lower safety factors are used for shorter duration exposure devices that are less invasive. |
