toxicological
Relating to poisons
Toxicological relates to toxicology—the scientific study of poisons, their effects on living organisms, and their detection.
The term appears in technical and regulatory contexts: toxicological testing, toxicological assessment, toxicological data.
A toxicological report might analyze drug interactions, environmental contaminants, or causes of death in forensic investigations.
