  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012167",
  "term": "Toxicity identification and evaluation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A systematic process used to determine the cause of toxicity in environmental samples, such as wastewater effluents or sediments. It involves a series of physical, chemical, and biological procedures to characterize, identify, and confirm the specific toxicants responsible for observed adverse effects. This approach is often applied in regulatory contexts to manage environmental pollution.",
