f1

The total toxic equivalent (TEQ) is operationally defined by the sum of the products of the concentration of each compound multiplied by its toxic equivalency factor (TEF) value and is an estimate of the total 2,3,7,8-TCDD-like activity of the mixture. Total toxic equivalent was previously abbreviated as TE.’
