LD50 is the exposure at which half of a population will die. Look at the LD50 for the NaCl oral dose for rats and express it as a percent. Use this percent to find out how many pounds of salt would kill half the population of giant rats weighing 165 pounds (the weight of an average person).UD50 Te Crat V 10 1/4
