That committee also recommended that DoD consider lowering the acceptable BLLs to more stringent levels that reduce the risk of adverse health effects in workers. DOD'S INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP AIRBORNE LEAD OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS In response to that National Academies report, DoD pursued the development of lower allowable BLLs and lower OELs that would apply to all occupational exposures within DoD, not just firing ranges (Seibert 2019)

, the approach comprised revising the risk management options for measured BLLs in DoD occupational settings, developing airborne exposure levels that would be predictive of BLLs of concern, analyzing impacts on DoD's mission and costs associated with lowered BLLs, and selecting and implementing the OEL. Based on its review of the literature on health effects at BLLs less than 40 µg/dL, a team assembled by the U.S.

• Is particle size variation appropriately accounted for within the DoD-O'Flaherty model and repre sentative of lead absorption within the DoD workers (military and civilian) who are occupationally exposed to lead?
