Calculation of a toxicity index for materials, based on a biological evaluation method
Claire Herpol, Paul Vandevelde · Fire and Materials · 1978
Abstract An attempt has been made to present toxicological results obtained by a biological evaluation method in a simple and comprehensive way. The calculation of a toxicity index which expresses mortality rates as a function of the very important time factor is proposed. Additionally it is shown how such an index could be used to rank a series of twenty materials according to their relative toxicity.
