How much dioxin am I exposed to?
Levels of dioxin in food -- which account for 95 percent of our exposure to dioxin -- have been cut in half over the past seven years. [3] EPA has clearly emphasized that the U.S. food supply is among the safest and most nutritious in the world. [4]
The World Health Organization sets its Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) at a range of 1 to 4 pg/kg/bw/day (picograms per kilogram of body weight per day) for adults. A picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. EPA estimates that the average U.S. adult intake is 0.5 to 1 pg/kg/bw/day, clearly within, or below, that range.
People today are exposed to less dioxin than at any time in the recent past. According to EPA, the amount of dioxin in the average person’s body has declined by more than 50% since the late 1980s. [5] Studies of levels of dioxin in human breast milk, blood and fat tissue all show significant declines -- with decreases ranging from 50 to 70 percent between 1980 and 1996. [6]
