a. The TCDD equivalents are calculated by multiplying the concentration of ezch congener by its<br />

CTEF or ITEF and summing values for PCDDs only, PCDFs only, and PCDDs + PCDFs.<br />

b. from Harnly et al., (1992).<br />

c. from USEPA (1989).<br />

d. The chemical analyses of the penta-PCDFs did not distinguish between 1,2,3,7,8- and 2,3,4,7,8-<br />

PCDF, to which different ITEFs have been assigned from DTSC (1991).<br />

e. from DTSC (1991).<br />
