Dioxin Toxic Equivalency Methodology Subcommittee following its evaluation of EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency's) toxic-equivalency-factor methodology for CDDS (chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins) and CDFS (chlorinated dibenzofurans). Report of the science advisory board. Final report

Technical Report · Mon Nov 03 23:00:00 EST 1986

OSTI ID:7092883

The Assistant Administrator for Air requested the Science Advisory Board to review a draft document which sets an approach for assessing the hazards of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (CDD) and dibenzofuran (CDF) mixtures relative to the toxicity of the 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) isomer. The Subcommittee concluded that the draft document represented a successful interim attempt to articulate a scientific rationale and procedures for developing risk-management decisions for mixtures that contain CDDs and CDFs related in structure and activity to TCDD.
