LC50

(Lethal Concentration 50) is the concentration of a chemical which kills 50% of a sample population. This measure is generally used when exposure to a chemical is through the animal breathing it in. (Lethal Dose 50) is the dose of a chemical which kills 50% of a sample population. It is used when exposure is by swallowing, skin contact, injection.

LD50

EC50 (half maximal effective concentration) , ED50 (effective dose 50), IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration)
