In pesticide toxicity assessment, what does "Lethal Concentration" refer to?

  1. The concentration of pesticides in the atmosphere

  2. The concentration of pesticides in the soil

  3. The concentration of pesticides in the water

  4. The concentration at which 50% of the test organisms die (LC50)

The correct answer is: The concentration at which 50% of the test organisms die (LC50)

"Lethal Concentration" (LC50) refers to the concentration at which 50% of the test organisms die when exposed to a specific pesticide. This measurement is essential in determining the toxicity of the pesticide and establishing safety guidelines for its application. The concentration of pesticides in the atmosphere (A), soil (B), or water (C) do not specifically refer to the lethal concentration for organisms and are not directly related to toxicity assessment in the same way as the LC50 value.
