You have to use the TCFD equivalence calculated from TEF . Thats how they get 110, 150, 700 ppt. Bottom right of each page.
They actually should be doing blood draws to check serum levels. Most of the exposure would have been inhalation as in Italy. Remember, they had solid PVC pellets burning as well Vinyl Chloride, i suspect most of the localized dioxin was from this and not the liquid vinyl chloride that was burned off.
Remember as well, this is soil that was at Ground Zero. Dioxin levels likely lower the further removed from Ground Zero
Excellent article during this fear mongering era we live in. People tend to believe toward their biases but I wonder why people who are so willing to believe the govt lies about positive news (this thing isn't bad for you) will whole heartedly believe negative news (this thing can cause cancer). question everything means just that - everything. And especially when it's in print. I wouldn't compare anything to CA standards - they're the ones who warn against bbq, coffee, frying, roasting etc.... because acrylamide can cause cancer and can occur when cooking at high heat. Might as well stop living right now.
"EPA has developed the following draft recommended interim PRGs for dioxin in soil: 72 ppt for residential soil and 950 ppt for commercial/industrial soil"
I find this highlighted section interesting: why the higher rate fur "commercial/Industrial soil"
I worked with TCDD in my other life. TCDD bioaccumulates in fish in what can be very high concentrations. People eat those fish and then bioaccumulate. We know TCDD has teratogenic effects. So even what might be considered acceptable exposure short term has serious consequences ling term. Just thinking out loud

Both wash in to waterways
