'''TEF''' (TCDD equivalency factor, [[toxic equivalency factor]]), a relative toxicity factor of a [[PCDD/F]] or [[PCB]] congener as related to [[TCDD]]. TEF values vary from 1 to 0.00001 or 0 (Table; see also [[TEq]]). The latest re-evaluation of TEF values was that by WHO in 2006. TEF values from WHO 1998 of have been used here as WHO-TEF for PCDD/Fs and PCB-TEF for PCBs. TEq = ΣTEFi*Ci, where Ci is the amount (or concentration) of congener i.
 
Table. Toxic equivalency factors for all [[PCDD/F]]s and [[PCB]]s that have a TEF>0. Other congeners are not supposed to have dioxin-like effects. IUPAC numbers for [[PCB]]s are given in parenthesis.
