Examples of TEQ in a sentence

  • COT recognised the lack of quantified TEFs for these compounds but said that “even if the TEFs for PXDDs, PXDFs and dioxin-like PXBs were up to four fold higher than assumed, their contribution to the total TEQ in the diet would still be small.

  • For dioxin contaminants the fertilizer must contain no more than eight (8) parts per trillion of dioxin, measured as toxic equivalent (TEQ).

  • The Discharger shall use the appropriate Toxicity Equivalence Factor (TEF) to determine Toxic Equivalence (TEQ).

  • For dioxin contaminants the fer- tilizer must contain no more than eight (8) parts per trillion of dioxin, measured as toxic equivalent (TEQ).

  • Where TEQ equals the product between each of the 17 individual congeners’ (i) concentration analytical result (Ci) and their corresponding Toxicity Equivalence Factor (TEFi)., (i.e., TEQi = Ci x TEFi).
