letální

Letální is a Czech adjective meaning lethal or deadly. It is used to describe something that is capable of causing death. For example, a letální dávka (lethal dose) refers to the amount of a substance that can cause death. A letální zranění (lethal injury) is an injury that is fatal.

The term letální is often used in scientific and medical contexts, particularly in toxicology and pharmacology, to describe the toxicity of substances. It can also be found in discussions of weapons, poisons, and dangerous situations. In a broader sense, it can describe anything that poses a significant threat to life.

The opposite of letální is neletální, meaning non-lethal or non-deadly. This term describes something that is not capable of causing death, even if it can cause harm or injury. Understanding the distinction between letální and neletální is important in many fields, from medicine and public health to legal and safety regulations. The severity of a substance or event is often categorized based on its potential to be letální.
