    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_Equivalency_Factor

    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 . With the TEFs, the toxicity of a mixture of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds can be expressed in a single number – the toxic ...
