  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002072",
  "term": "Chronotoxicology",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The study of how the timing of exposure to toxic substances influences their effects on biological systems. This field investigates the rhythmic variations in an organism's susceptibility to toxicants, often linked to circadian or other biological cycles. Understanding these temporal relationships can inform strategies for minimizing adverse outcomes from chemical exposures.",
