What are Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADI) and Reference Doses (RfD)?
Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADI) and Reference Doses (RfD) are safety thresholds established for specific chemicals. The ADI is the amount of a substance that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without posing a significant risk to health, while the RfD is an estimate of the daily exposure to the human population that is likely to be without significant risk of adverse effects during a lifetime. These values are critical for setting regulatory limits and ensuring consumer safety.
