  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012165",
  "term": "Toxicity equivalent",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A calculated value representing the overall toxicity of a mixture of related toxic compounds, expressed as if it were a single dose of a reference compound. This value is obtained by multiplying the concentration of each congener by its respective toxicity equivalency factor (TEF) and summing the results. It provides a standardized measure for comparing the potential hazard of complex mixtures.",
