How can you use “toxicant” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In determining whether or not a reference toxicant test result falls "well" outside the expected range, the result also may be compared with upper and lower bounds for ±3S, as any result outside these control limits would be expected to occur by chance only 1 out of 100 tests (Environment Canada, 1990).

  • Test review of a given effluent or receiving water test should include review of the associated reference toxicant test and current control chart.
