Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) 03
Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) 03 : One of a number of different values that toxicologists use to work out safe levels for pesticides residues. It is also used in other safety assessments.?It is The Amount of A Chemical Which Can Be Consumed Every Day For A Lifetime In The Practical Certainty, On The Basis of All Known Facts, That No Harm Will Result. It is Expressed In Milligrams of The Chemical Per Kilogram of Body Weight of The Consumer. The Starting Point for The Derivation of The Adi is Usually The 'No Observed Adverse Effect Level' (Noael) That Has Been Observed In Animal Studies for Toxicity. This is Then Divided By An Uncertainty Factor (Most Often 100) To Allow for The Possibility That Animals May Be Less Sensitive Than Humans and Also To Account for Possible Variation In Sensitivity Between Individuals. The Studies From Which Noaels and Hence Adis Are Derived Take Into Account Any Impurities In The Pesticide Active Substance As Manufactured, and Also Any Breakdown Products of The Pesticide
