Attachment F - TOXICITY EQUIVALENT FACTOR
This is the toxicity equivalent factor guidance. Note that CDD and CDF are acronyms for chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and chlorinated dibenzofurans. T, Pe, Hx, Hp, and O stand for tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, and octa, respectively.
Compound | Toxicity Equivalency Factor (TEF) |
2,3,7,8-TCDD | 1.000 |
1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD | 0.500 |
1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD | 0.100 |
1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDD | 0.100 |
1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDD | 0.100 |
1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD | 0.010 |
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-0CDD | 0.001 |
2,3,7,8-TCDF | 0.100 |
1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF | 0.050 |
2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF | 0.500 |
1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDF | 0.100 |
1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDF | 0.100 |
1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF | 0.100 |
2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF | 0.100 |
1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF | 0.010 |
1,2,3,4,7,8,9-HpCDF | 0.010 |
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-0CDF | 0.001 |
All other CDD and CDF have a TEF of zero.
