A multi-level model of blood lead as a function of air lead

Describes an analysis of the relationship between blood lead levels and air lead levels among participants in the NHANES.

Impact/Purpose

Understanding how blood lead levels relate to air lead is very relevant to interpretation of the air lead data on health effects related to lead exposure, because most epidemiology studies use blood lead levels for exposure metrics
