For gases and aerosols, lethal concentration (given in mg/m 3 or ppm, parts per million) is the analogous concept, although this also depends on the duration of exposure, which has to be included in the definition. The term incipient lethal level is used to describe a LC 50 value that is independent of time. [8]
The TLV for chemical substances is defined as a concentration in air, typically for inhalation or skin exposure. Its units are in parts per million (ppm) for gases and in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m 3) for particulates such as dust, smoke and mist.
Toxic: a chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC 50) in air of more than 200 parts per million (ppm) but not more than 2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or more than 2 milligrams per liter but not more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for 1 hour (or less if death occurs within 1 hour) to albino rats ...
A firearm is the most widely recognized lethal or deadly force weapon, however, an automobile or weapon of opportunity could also be defined as a deadly force utility. [7] [9] [10] The U.S. Navy teaches a six-step model: Officer presence, Verbal commands, Soft controls, Hard controls, Intermediate Weapons, and Lethal force.
LOAEL is lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level. It is the minimum dose of a substance that produces an observable adverse effect on the treated group in human clinical trials or animal experimental trials. [3] There is a biologically or statistically significant increase in the prevalence of adverse effect in the treated group above this level. [10]
Those records led them to identify at least 1,036 deaths after police had used what is known as “less-lethal force” during the decade of 2012 through 2021 — an average of two a week.
The OSHA definition is part of a legal standard, which is the minimum legal requirement. Users or employers are encouraged to apply proper judgment to avoid taking unnecessary risks, even if the only immediate hazard is "reversible", such as temporary pain, disorientation, nausea, or non-toxic contamination.
If force A has say 2 units and force B has 3 units, then the advantage force B has is 3²−2² or 5. If force A still has 2 units and force B has 4 units then the advantage force B has is 4²−2² or 12. If force A still has 2 units and force B has 5 units then the advantage force B has is 5²−2² or 21.
