Why does the noun Vergiftung have the article die?
Nouns ending in -ung are always feminine. Look at the bolded -ung in the noun above — that suffix is the giveaway.
Examples
die Zeitung (newspaper), die Wohnung (apartment), die Bildung (education), die Hoffnung (hope), die Übung (exercise), die Meinung (opinion), die Erfahrung (experience)
Exceptions
der Sprung (jump), der Schwung (momentum) - these are verb stems, not the -ung suffix
