  "definition": "A measure that reflects the overall biological response of an organism to a toxic substance, encompassing multiple physiological or biochemical changes. This type of indicator provides a holistic view of the toxic impact, rather than focusing on a single endpoint. It often involves combining data from several individual biomarkers to assess the total stress or damage caused by exposure.",
