An infographic titled "The Lethal Doses of 55 Substances" compares the toxicity of various chemicals, measured in median lethal dose (LD₅₀) values, which indicate the dose required to be lethal for 50% of a test population. The substances range from relatively harmless (e.g., water, sucrose, and vitamin C) to highly toxic (e.g., nicotine, sarin, and botulinum toxin). The scale moves from milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for less toxic substances to micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) for highly toxic ones. Illustrations accompany each substance, showing its source or use, from household items to industrial and natural toxins. 0ffbd9e454c2e866.png Logo for "Smart Tic" showing a white hand icon on a blue gradient background.
