Recent applications of physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models have used animal to human scaling, the hypothetical average man, and Monte Carlo techniques to estimate human exposure to toxicants. Our study built a PBTK model suitable for person-specific dosimetry. Individual measurements of age, ventilation rate, blood/air partition coefficient, body weight, and adipose tissue fraction were made on 26 male subjects exposed to 50 ppm2H8-toluene and 50 ppm toluene for 2 hr at rest, with collection of venous blood samples for 120 hr postexposure. Fitted lung metabolism was a novel feature of the PBTK model, used to explain a systemic clearance of2H8-toluene well in excess of hepatic blood flow. A 10-fold interindividual range in venous concentrations was found. Subject-specific modeling explained 91% of the observed data variability, compared to 53% using literature values for model parameters. Body weight, adipose tissue fraction, and blood/air partition coefficient were correlated with terminal half-life, steady-state volume of distribution, and terminal volume of distribution. Lung metabolism was correlated with systemic clearance and terminal half-life. Interindividual differences in lung metabolism resulted in divergent predicted fractions of2H8-toluene in the body at 2 and 100 hr. An increased adipose fraction led to lower blood concentrations up to 8 hr postexposure, and simulations showed that at 98 hr, adipose tissue contained 97–99% of2H8-toluene in the body. Use of subject-specific model parameters greatly improved model fit and demonstrated interindividual differences in toxicokinetics.
