Ingestion rate as well as elimination rate of As are treated dynamically and are used to parameterize the stage-classified accumulation model. Model simulations are carried out to produce temporal changes of As body burden of the residents who consume tilapia from blackfoot disease (BFD)-endemic area in three major cities in Taiwan. The model presented here can be served as a strong framework for refining human health risk assessments through fish consumption. ? 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.application/pdf293803 bytesapplication/pdfen-US[SDGs]SDG3Body weight; Fish consumption; Human health risk assessment; Computational methods; Computer simulation; Diseases; Fish; Mathematical models; Medical problems; Risk assessment; Health risks; arsenic; adolescent; adult; article; blackfoot disease; body weight; controlled study; environmental exposure; female; food intake; human; human experiment; ingestion; intoxication; male; preschool child; risk assessment; school child; Taiwan; Tilapia; Adolescent; Adult; Animals; Arsenic; Body Burden; Body Weight; Child; Female; Food Contamination; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Risk Assessment; Tilapia; Water Pollutants, Chemical; Tilapiajournal article10.1007/s00128-008-9365-1http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/176039/1/89.pdf
