| − | + | <p>In order to gauge the effect, severity and duration of lead contamination can have on a population, we decided to model the contamination of lead in drinking water on a young population. We began by inspecting the literature and looking for the physiological effects and absorption rates of lead through ingestion. It is believed that only <b>50%</b> of lead consumed is absorbed by the body (citation). </p> | |
