N2 - Essential oil could be used as traditional medicine (aromatherapy) for the respiratory system by inhalation and ingestion. Lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus essential oils are potentially beneficial to treat and relieve diseases symptoms caused by viruses and respiratory disorders, such as Covid-19. Using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test, this study aimed to determine the LC50 of lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus essential oil. The essential oils were produced from a refining factory. The concentrations of each sample solution used were 1, 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm. The solutions were poured into ten Artemia salina leach and then incubated for 24 hours. LC50 of essential oils was obtained by determining the mortality percentage and probity analysis. The analysis showed that the LC50 of Lavender was 151.2 ppm, the LC50 of peppermint was 101.9 ppm, and the LC50 of eucalyptus was 105.7 ppm; all were toxic.
