    This study introduces pT, a metric for quantifying compound toxicity based on molar concentration. It offers a standardized way to assess chemical hazards for both scientific and public understanding.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Environmental Health
    • Chemical Safety

    Background:

    • Assessing chemical toxicity is complex.
    • A unified, quantitative measure for diverse compounds is needed.
    • Understanding shared chemical hazards is crucial for public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate the pT metric for expressing compound toxicity.
    • To provide a quantitative, molar-based system for toxicity assessment.
    • To compare the toxicity of various compounds and highlight shared chemical hazards.

    Main Methods:

    • Defined pT as the reciprocal of the logarithm of molar concentration.
    • Applied pT to a range of representative toxic compounds.
    • Compared toxicity data across different chemical classes.

    Main Results:

    • The pT metric provides a simple, quantitative expression of toxicity potential.
    • Demonstrated the utility of pT across a wide variety of compounds.
    • Highlighted commonalities in chemical hazards faced by different communities.

    Conclusions:

    • pT offers a valuable tool for standardizing toxicity assessment.
    • This approach enhances the understanding of chemical risks.
    • Facilitates communication about chemical hazards in scientific and societal contexts.
