So What Are Toxins? Unlike venom and poison, the word âtoxinâ is not defined by a specific method of delivery. Rather, a toxin has a broader meaning. It is a biologically produced chemical substance that impacts biological functions in other organisms. In this respect, anything that is synthesized (by humanity or other intelligent life) is not considered a toxin. Rather, a âtoxicantâ is a chemical substance that is synthesized/produced by human activity. In short, toxins and toxicants are narrower definitions for the word âpoison.â. So to sum: Poisons are any chemical substances that impact biological functions in other organisms.
