* EPA developed the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic (lEUBK) Lead Model [EPA, 1994] to evaluate multimedia lead exposure to children in residential settings. EPA established a goal of attaining a 95% probability that blood lead levels in children be less than 10 ug/dl [EPA 1994a]. Setting the indoor air lead concentration at 1 ug/m’ (and using backgroimd concentrations for lead in water, diet, soil and dust) the lEUBK Lead Model estimates that 96% of the blood lead probability distribution falls below 10 ug/dl. See Appendix E for model run data files and graph of blood lead probability distribution.
