Fig. 1. Doseresponse curves for blood Pb concentrations (a) for Pb acetate and untreated soil groups and (b) for soil groups. Correlations were run using data from individual animals. To reduce the number of data points on this graph, only the mean Pb concentration and dose from each group were plotted.

Fig. 5. Correlations between relative response (RR) or bioavailability (RBA) of Pb as determined by blood, kidney, liver, and bone doseresponse curves and the bioavailability factor (BAFs) as determined from soil samples by the stomach phase of the physiologically based extraction test (PBET).
