Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) The dally intake of a chemical that is considered without appreciable risk on the basis of all the facts known at the time it is defined. 

For example, the Ontario risk assessment uses a no observable effect level (NOEL) of 0.001 ug/kg/day (6.73) and a safety factor of 100 to obtain a maximum allowable dally intake of 1 X 10" 1 g/kg/day (= 10 pg/kg/day) for humans (74). In contrast, EPA has used a value of 6.4 X 10" 5 g/kg/day which suggests cancer risks that are 1670 fold higher. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has, on the other hand, accepted risks associated with the ingestion of up to 13 pg/kg/day. (Table IX).
