With the TEFs, the toxicity of a mixture of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds can be expressed in a single number – the toxic equivalency (TEQ). It is a single figure resulting from the product of …

Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and –furans (PCDD/Fs, commonly known as dioxins) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of toxic and persistent chemicals whose …

The “Toxic Equivalent” (TEQ) scheme weighs the toxicity of the less toxic compounds as fractions of the toxicity of the most toxic TCDD. Each compound is attributed a specific “Toxic …

The target concentration of 0.9 pg I-TEQ/g milk lipid was set as an objective to be achieved; if the TDI exceeds 10 pg I-TEQ/kg body weight (excluding PCBs) action should be taken to reduce …

In your report, you will find a concentration for all 2,3,7,8- congeners for dibenzo(p)dioixn (7) and dibenzofuran (10) expressed in units of ng/kg (nanograms per kilogram, parts per trillion) or …

The TEQ calculation passed both sensitivity analyses and the calculated value of 77.37 pg/g fat is therefore appropriate to use in the health evaluation. Health assessors are encouraged to

The relationship between the structure of individual PCDD, PCDF and PCB congeners and their toxicity is the basis of toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs) and the toxic equivalency (TEQ) …

Total TEQ intake in 2015 was estimated to be 40 pg TEQ/day (i.e. 0.53 pg/kg bw/day using 76 kg bw) and intake in Sweden was also estimated to be halved from 2000 (Livsmedelverket 2017). …

The TEQ values (pg g − 1 ) of the 17 PCDD/F and 12 dl-PCB congeners were calculated based on their Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs) derived from the 2005 World Health Organization …

PCDD, present at the concentration [S] that is half as toxic as 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD is con-verted to TEQ as follows: TEQ = 0.5 [S]. The TEQ for a sample containing 20 pg 2,3,4,7,8-penta CDF/g …
