  "term": "Vertigo",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific type of dizziness characterized by a sensation that either the external world is spinning around the individual or that the individual is spinning.

Exposure to certain neurotoxic chemicals, including solvents like toluene and heavy metals like mercury, can induce vertigo as a clinical sign of toxicity.",
