Modeling the Human Kinetic Adjustment Factor for Inhaled Volatile Organic Chemicals: Whole Population Approach versus Distinct Subpopulation Approach
Figure 5
Distributions of individual values obtained for several physiological parameters in each subpopulation within the whole virtual Canadian population. From top to bottom, distributions for body weight-adjusted alveolar ventilation rate (a), body weight-adjusted liver blood flow (b) and maximal rate of metabolism of benzene (c) and 1,4-dioxane (d) are shown for the entire Canadian population ( thick —), adults (—), children and adolescents (— –), elderly (–·–·–), toddlers (– – -), pregnant women (-------), infants (-·-·-·-), and neonates (indistinguishable).
