Millions of dollars are spent on determining the lethal doses of these compunds (LD-50). reply: This is so true Peter concerning millions spent determining the lethal doses and even more spent lobbying to see what part of the cut each commodity gets, to fill the cup pertaining to these dosages or lethal doses, as you say.This we call residue tolerances or limits!
