   Many children, like Gabe, continued to live in Herculaneum past March of 1994. Dr. Rodgers specified

   Dr. Jill Ryer-Powder, a toxicologist, testified as to the most likely blood lead concentration for four
children who did not have blood lead levels drawn before the age of seven: Gabe Farmer, Heather Glaze,
Jeremy Halbrook, and Patrick Blanks. Dr. Ryer-Powder arrived at her values using a computer model
called the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model, IEUBK for short, established by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency. The user of this computer model inputs various environmental
parameters, such as the concentration of lead in soil, air, water, and food, as well as the maternal blood lead
level and the bioavailability of lead in dirt and dust. The model then calculates a likely blood lead level for
children at specific age levels up through age 6.
