Toxicity is measured using various bioassays and tests. These include:
In Vivo Studies: These involve testing on live organisms to observe the effects of the toxin in a whole biological system. In Vitro Studies: These involve testing on cells or tissues outside their normal biological context, providing a controlled environment to study specific effects. LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%): This is the dose of a toxin that kills 50% of the test population. It is a common measure of acute toxicity.
