Toxin Weaponization is the systematic process of converting naturally occurring biological toxins into standardized, dispersible, and potent agents for use as weapons in biological terrorism, distinguished from other forms of bioweapon development by its focus on non-living, poisonous byproducts of organisms rather than viable pathogens.
