“…( 10 , 15 , 16 , 35 ) Some models employ hybrid CFD-PBPK structures ( 36 ) to best capture behavior of gas uptake due to the combined influences of tissue metabolism and airway architecture. PBPK models have been used to improve dosimetry for risk analysis of numerous chemicals, e.g., PBPK models of trichloroethylene, ( 37 ) glycol ethers, ( 38 – 41 ) or methyl iodide. ( 42 , 43 ) These PBPK models were used to estimate internal dose and to estimate safe exposure levels or OELs based on, respectively: the sum of the parent compound (trichloroethylene) and metabolite concentration in blood; the average daily area under the blood concentration of metabolites and time curve (AUC) (glycol ethers); and separate dose estimates based on MOA for different endpoints extrapolated from animal data, including maximum concentration of methyl iodide in the brain for neurotoxic effects and fetal blood iodide AUC for developmental effects.…”
