Picograms
Im confused on how to do this problem all together. I can't find help in the book because their answers are hard to follow. If you could work this out and explain how each step was done so I could understand how to do it that would be awesome. Thank you
Given that the average TEQ of animal-based foods is about 0.7 picograms of TCDD equivalent per gram, and that the LD50 for 2,3,7,8-TCDD is about 0.001 mg/kg body weight, what mass(kg) of animal-based food would you have to consume to ingest a fatal dose of it?
Calculations for determining fatal dose in humans from contaminated animal-based food.
