Abstract
- Novel sensitivity analyses of alternative toxic equivalency factors (TEFs).
- Characterized uncertainty in dioxin toxic equivalency (TEQ) intakes.
- Estimated U.S. mean daily TEQ intake of 23Â pg/day from 8 food categories.
- Dairy (other than milk), beef, and seafood contribute most to TEQ intake.
- TEF probability distributions needed to conduct probabilistic uncertainty analyses.
