Reference Concentration (RfC): The RfC is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous inhalation exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups which include children, asthmatics and the elderly) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. It can be derived from various types of human or animal data, with uncertainty factors generally applied to reflect limitations of the data used. 2, record 6, English, - reference%20concentration

Il existe une nuance entre «teneur» et «concentration». «Teneur» désigne la quantité de matière contenue dans un corps, par exemple : teneur en or d'un minerai, alors que «concentration» désigne la proportion d'un composant dans une solution, un mélange, par exemple : concentration en masse, en volume, concentration forte, faible.
