Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) 1
Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) 1 : An estimate of the amount of a contaminant in food or drinking water that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without a significant health risk. The term is used frequently in WHO health assessments. The term 'tolerable' is used as contaminants do not serve an intended function and as intake is unavoidably associated with the basic consumption of food and water. Tolerable does not generally indicate 'acceptable'. TDIs are usually derived using the NOAEL/LOAEL plus safety factor approach
