Exposure-dependent variation in cryolite induced lethality in the nontarget insect, Drosophila melanogaster
The starting point of toxicity testing of any chemical in an organism is the determination of its Lethal Concentration 50 (LC50). In the present study, LC50 of a fluorinated insecticide cryolite is determined in a non-target insect model, Drosophila melanogaster. Interestingly, the result shows that...
