  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "Fungi species capable of producing mycotoxins that can cause adverse health effects in humans and damage to property. In a legal setting, the presence of toxic mold can lead to litigation involving landlords, tenants, property owners, and insurance companies over issues of liability, personal injury, and property damage claims. These cases frequently involve disputes over the implied warranty of habitability, which requires landlords to provide safe and livable conditions for tenants.",
