risk posed by exposures to mixtures of DLCs. TEFs
are used to obtain TEQ values for complex mixtures,
assuming additive effects according to the equation
below.
TEQ=
(Equation 1).
Hence, the TEQ value is the sum of the concentrations
of each congener multiplied by their respective TEFs
and represents the overall TCDD toxic potency of a
sample.
All statistical tests were performed using Origin
software (7.5, 2004) with a significant level of p<0.05.
