containing dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and DLCs are structurally and toxicologically related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. The EPA recommends that the toxicity equivalence factor (TEF) methodology, a component mixture
20 lut 2024 · EPA will use TEQs to account for how dioxin and dioxin-like compounds vary in toxicity. TEQs will help the public to better understand the toxicity of releases and waste management at facilities that report under the Toxics Release Inventory Program.
Toxic equivalency factor (TEF) expresses the toxicity of dioxins, furans and PCBs in terms of the most toxic form of dioxin, 2,3,7,8-TCDD. [1] The toxicity of the individual congeners may vary by orders of magnitude.
1 maj 1991 · Toxicity equivalent factors (TEFs) have proved useful in estimating the toxicity of complex mixtures of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (CDDs/CDFs). An international consensus has formed around a specific set of TEF values as interim solution for addressing environmental contaminatio …
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 Equivalency Factor” (TEF) .
1 sty 2023 · As a notorious compound in the family of dioxins, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exhibits long-term toxic effects on diverse organs, which induces continuous metabolic disorders. This review discussed the mechanisms of TCDD-associated metabolic syndrome.
1 wrz 2001 · TEQs are toxic equivalencies that represent the combined toxicity of all dioxins and furans based on toxic equivalency factors; TCDD is the most toxic dioxin/furan and has a toxic equivalency factor of 1.0.
