a Calculated as the ratio of the PBPK simulations of 24 h AUC (of venous blood concentration, 1 ppm VOC, 24 h exposure) obtained by setting 𝐸 = 0 (i.e., 𝐶 𝐿 i n t = 0 ) to that setting 𝐸 = 1 (i.e., 𝐶 𝐿 i n t = 1 0 0 0 ).
b Calculated as the ratio of the predicted to the experimental values of 𝐶 𝐿 i n t P L .
