| Short description: |
Reliable analysis of the potential hazard to
children from ingestion of lead in environmental media depends
on accurate information on a number of key parameters, including
the rate and extent of lead absorption from each medium.
Bioavailability of lead in a particular medium may be expressed
either in absolute terms (absolute bioavailability, ABA) or in
relative terms (relative bioavailability, RBA). This report
summarizes the results of a series of studies performed by
scientists in U.S. EPA Region 8 to measure the RBA of lead in a
variety of soil and soil-like test materials using both in vivo
and in vitro techniques
