Impact/Purpose:
The All Ages Lead Modeling tool was developed to rapidly evaluating the impact of lead exposures on lead levels in blood and other human tissues across mutliple lifestages (from birth to 90 years of age). This 2019 update is highly anticipated since the 2005 update received comments from SAB. Together, the model software and documentation advance EPA’s earlier modeling capabilities for the assessment of lead exposures on body burden of lead and associated lead biomarkers.
Description:
The All Ages Lead Model (AALM) predicts lead concentration in body tissues and organs of hypothetical individuals, based on a simulated lifetime of lead exposure. The purpose of the model is to provide risk assessors and researchers with a tool for rapidly evaluating the impact of possible sources of lead in a specific human setting where there is a concern for potential or real human exposure to lead.
