Dear B.C.
Do you think that the children and adults, remembering that the children have 1/3 the exposure time, both reached CO equilibrium by the time they were measured?
If so the results indicate that the absorption by children is much faster, but that it may not result in higher levels in the bloodstream.
If this is the case, it is an important aspect of the toxicology. At some point the CO will equilibrate – I am just wondering if we can assert that it happens in 1/3 the time, children v.s adults, the ultimate level being determined by the available ‘supply’.
Thanks
Crispin

This happens when I was working for Kirk´s group and has a good aceptance between people, Maybe it will help and you don´t need to ask for blood itself.
