:* "Set a dioxins limit at 1 in one million cancer risk to protect public health;
:* "Ban land application to sites where dioxin levels in the soil (sic) <nowiki>[exceed]</nowiki> 1 parts per trillion (based on ecological risks that cannot be alleviated by management measures, such as banning application to pasture lands, which would reduce risks to human health); and
