  University of Miami School of Medicine - Glossary - Acceptable daily intake
Acceptable daily intake: Estimate of the amount of a substance in food or drinking water, expressed on a body mass basis (usually mg/kg body weight), which can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk.
For calculation of the daily intake per person, a standard body mass of 60 kg is used.
The acceptable daily intake is normally used for food additives (tolerable daily intake is used for contaminants).

Acceptable daily intake: The daily dosage of a chemical which, during an entire lifetime, appears to be without appreciable risk on the basis of all the facts known at the time.
Knowledge of the "acceptable daily intakes" of these substances would be useful in assessing consumer hazards that might arise from the use of the fumigant, particularly under conditions of abnormal pest infestation when the dose might have to be increased or the treatment repeated.
The acceptable daily intake figures in the monographs that follow are intended to be of value as a check to ensure that tolerances are toxicologically acceptable.

 GLOSSARY OF TERMS ON CHEMICAL SAFETY - International occupational safety & health information centre
The daily intake may be expressed as the amount taken in by a particular exposure route, e.g., ingestion or inhalation.
The daily intake from food is the total amount of a given substance taken in during one day through the consumption of food.
The daily intake by inhalation is calculated by multiplying the concentration of the substance (or agent) in air by the total amount of air inhaled during one day (24 hours).

acceptable daily intake (ADI) Estimate of the amount of a substance in food or drinking water, expressed on a body mass basis (usually mg/kg body weight), which can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk.

An ideal intake system should increase the velocity of the air until it travels in to the combustion chamber, while minimizing turbulence and restriction of flow.
Porsche in the 1980s designed an intake system for their cars that changed the length of the intake system by alternating between a longer and shorter set of tubing using a butterfly valve, creating a small amount of positive pressure which increased overall performance of the engine.
However, the term "cold air intake" is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine.

The dietary intake of DDT and BHC from nonfatty and fatty foods contributed almost equally to the total intake of these insecticides; however, a slight rise in consumption of fat could greatly increase the levels of these insecticides because their concentrations were comparatively higher in fatty food (Table 2).
The average daily dietary intake of DDT and BHC determined on the basis of the 1-d duplicate diet method was 19.24 [mu]g and 77.15 [mu]g per person per day, respectively.
The maximum acceptable daily intake for DDT from all sources is 20 [mu]g per kg body weight, as recommended by FAO/WHO.[15] No acceptable daily intake for BHC has been recommended by FAO/WHO because of variation in the composition of various isomers.

If the total acceptable daily intake of nickel is 78.4 µg Ni/day, the amount allocated to drinking water with a 20% RSC would be 16 µg Ni/day, producing a PHG of 8 µg Ni/l.
Under the subtraction method, the expected intake of nickel from all sources other than drinking water is subtracted from the total acceptable daily intake of nickel, and the balance is allocated to drinking water.
Under the subtraction method, a bioavailability-adjusted value of 20 µg Ni/day in dietary intake would be subtracted from a total acceptable daily intake of 78.4 µg Ni/day (which is based on an RfD from drinking water and gavage studies), and the balance of 58.4 µg Ni/day would be allocable to drinking water.

 Why food additives? - The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) : a tool for legislators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
he Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for man, expressed on a milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight basis, is the amount of a food additive than can be taken daily in the diet, even over a lifetime, without risk.
This No Effect Level is then reinforced by a large safety factor, usually 100, to arrive at the ADI for man. For example, if the No Effect Level in an animal study is observed to be 100 mg/kg bodyweight, this is then converted to an ADI of 1 mg/kg bodyweight for humans.
Although called an acceptable daily intake, the ADI should always be compared with average intakes over prolonged periods - not with day to day intakes.

Codex MRLs are based on residue data from supervised trials and not directly derived from Acceptable Daily Intakes(ADIs) which is a quantitative expression of acceptable daily amounts of residue which persons may ingest on a long term basis and which are established on the basis of appropriate toxicological data mainly from animal studies.
The acceptability of Codex MRLs is judged on the basis of a comparison of the acceptable daily intake with estimated daily intakes, as determined on the basis of suitable intake studies.
Intake data from such studies, compared with acceptable daily intakes, help in determining the safety of foods in respect of pesticide residues.

 ATSDR - Health Consultation - Brandy Branch Reservoir, Marshall, Harrison County, Texas
In areas of China with selenium intakes of 3,200 to 6,690 ug per day, clinically apparent selenium toxicity was observed, while persons with daily intakes in the range of 42-750 ug per day did not produce any signs of toxicity or other adverse health effects [6].
In performing the risk assessment, TDH determined the acceptable daily intake of selenium from fish by subtracting an assumed daily intake of selenium from other sources (200 µg/day [2.86 µg/kg/day assuming a 70 kg adult]) from the estimated safe and acceptable daily intake.
Assuming a background daily intake of selenium from other sources of 200 µg we estimate that approximately 150 µg/day (2.14 µg/kg/day assuming a 70 kg adult) is an acceptable daily intake of selenium from fish.

 Acceptable daily intake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acceptable Daily Intake or ADI is a measure of a specific substance (usually a food additive) in food or drinking water that can be ingested over a lifetime without an appreciable health risk.
ADIs are expressed by body mass, usually in milligrams per kilograms of body mass.
Note that the ADI is considered a safe intake level for the healthy adult of normal weight who consumes the average amount of the substance in question, not for small children or weak persons.
