  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007130",
  "term": "Median teratogenic concentration",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The concentration of a substance that causes a specific teratogenic effect in 50% of the exposed offspring of a test population. This metric is used in developmental toxicology to quantify the potential of a chemical to induce birth defects. It is expressed in units of mass per volume, such as micrograms per liter (µg/L).",
