Health and Safety in the Chemical Laboratory : Where Do We Go from Here?. Pesticides undergo laboratory tests to establish their level of toxicity. The chemical is tested on test animals,such as rats, mice and rabbits, to see how much chemical is needed to kill an animal. These tests establish the pesticide's LD50 (lethal or killing dose). The lower the LD5O the more toxic (more poisonous) the chemical. How do I go about selecting the proper cartridge for my application? A. Cartridges do have limitations. A chemical cartridge contains activated charcoal. The charcoal is activated based upon the contaminant it is designed to adsorb. To determine the proper cartridge for air-purifying respirators, either contact a safety professional or consult Health and safety in the chemical laboratory:where do we go from here?
