  "definition": "All parameters measuring Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) in wastewater. WET refers to the aggregate toxic effect to aquatic organisms from all pollutants contained in a facility's wastewater. WET tests measure wastewater's effects on specific test organisms' ability to survive, grow and reproduce. WET measurements may be reported using a variety of units, such as percentages or pass/fail. The Loading Tool presents the measurements in the units reported on DMRs, and does not convert the measurements into standard units. Search Considerations: The Loading Tool selects pollutant measurements for the WET category if the measurements are associated with parameter codes in ICIS-NPDES that are on the WET list. This list is available in the Technical Support Documentation.",
