Median Lethal Dose (LD50) of Cobalt/Cobalamin

[Guest guest]

Cobalt is an essential element for life in minute amounts. The LD50 values

soluble cobalt salts has been estimated to be between 150 and 500 mg/kg. Thus,

for a 100 kg person the LD50 would be about 20 grams.

(Compare this to your lab number, and figure out how many kg your child weighs.

The conversion for pounds to kg is: lbs / 2.2 = kilograms or for kilograms to

pounds: kg x 2.2 = pounds. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. And there are

1,000 mg in one kilogram.)

Even with the book, I do not understand what I am looking at.

> All toxic elements are in the green. No mercury at all(exposure would have

been over 10 years ago). It just looks normal.

two. Most of the elements are on the low side w/Strontium in the red, and the

only thing elevated a lot is cobalt.
