Interim procedures for estimating risks associated with exposures to mixtures of chlorinated dibenzodioxins and -dibenzofurans (CDDs and CDFs)

A set of weighting factors is proposed for expressing the toxicity of mixtures of CDDs/CDFs in terms of an equivalent amount of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. The factors are applied to a variety of environmental samples and the results compared to those obtained using a number of alternative factors which have been...

Zusammenfassung:A set of weighting factors is proposed for expressing the toxicity of mixtures of CDDs/CDFs in terms of an equivalent amount of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. The factors are applied to a variety of environmental samples and the results compared to those obtained using a number of alternative factors which have been proposed.
