Appendix D: Aerosol Toxicity: Toxins

Appendix D. Aerosol toxicity in LD50 (see Appendix C) vs. quantity of toxin required to provide a theoretically effective open-air exposure, under ideal meteorological conditions, to an area 100 km2 . Ricin, saxitoxin and botulinum toxins kill at the concentrations depicted.
