Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetics (IEUBK) model

The Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetics (IEUBK) model is a scientific tool used to estimate how lead from the environment, like soil or air, might enter a child's body and reach levels that could cause health issues. It combines information about sources of lead exposure, how the body absorbs it, and how it moves through and is processed by the body over time. This helps researchers and regulators assess risks and set safe environmental standards to protect children from harmful lead levels.
