Article Synopsis
- The article discusses studies measuring the relative bioavailability (RBA) of lead in various soil types using juvenile swine as test subjects.
- Juvenile swine were given oral doses of either lead acetate or lead-contaminated soils twice daily for 15 days, and their blood, liver, kidney, and bone samples were analyzed for lead content.
- The findings showed a wide range of RBA values (6% to 105%) among 19 different test materials, emphasizing the need for accurate RBA data to inform lead risk assessments, although current data do not allow for reliable predictions based solely on chemical speciation.
