Tolerable weekly intake (TWI) estimates the amount per unit body weight of a potentially harmful substance or contaminant in food or water that can be ingested over a lifetime without risk of adverse health effects. [1] [2] TWI is generally preceded by "provisional" to indicate insufficient data exists, increasing uncertainty. [3]
Tolerable daily intake (TDI) refers to the daily amount of a chemical contaminant that has been assessed safe for human being exposure on long-term basis (usually whole lifetime). [1] TDI specifically occurs to chemicals that humans are exposed to unintentionally or as a contaminant, [ 1 ] where acceptable daily intake refers to chemicals that ...
The provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) for patulin was set at 0.43 μg/kg body weight by the FDA [3] based on a NOAEL of 0.3 mg/kg body weight per week. [3] Monte Carlo analysis was done on apple juice to compare exposure and the PTDI. Without controls or an action limit, the 90th percentile of consumers would not be above the PTDI.
The new ATSDR analysis derives provisional Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) of 3x10 −6 mg/kg/day for PFOA and 2x10 −6 mg/kg/day for PFOS during intermediate exposure. [114] The European Food Safety Authority opinion sets a provisional tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 6 x10 −6 mg/kg body weight per week for PFOA.
Acceptable daily intake or ADI is a measure of the amount of a specific substance (originally applied for a food additive, later also for a residue of a veterinary drug or pesticide) in food or drinking water that can be ingested (orally) daily over a lifetime without an appreciable health risk.

A bus driver who wielded a knife as he chased a group of youths who threw snowballs at him has been fined £300. Preston Lodowica, 53, had stopped at Killingworth Shopping Centre, in North ...
No sooner had the global economy started to put the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic behind it than a whole new set of challenges opened up for 2025. In 2024, the world's central banks were ...
Tolerable upper intake levels (UL), to caution against excessive intake of nutrients (like vitamin A and selenium) that can be harmful in large amounts. This is the highest level of sustained daily nutrient consumption that is considered to be safe for, and cause no side effects in, 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life stage and sex group.
