How Does ADI Relate to Other Toxicological Assessments?
While ADI is a long-term risk assessment tool, there are other measures for different exposure scenarios. The Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) is used for evaluating the risk of short-term exposure. The Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) is similar to ADI but is used for contaminants and environmental chemicals rather than food additives or pesticides. Together, these tools provide a comprehensive framework for assessing the safety of chemical exposures.
