See Elwood, St. Leger, and Morton (1976) and Lauwerys et al. (1977). For Moore s analysis and response, see Moore et al. (1979), which showed that blood lead varied with the cubed root of water lead. See also the discussion in chapter 2 on the significance of nonlinear relationships in studying the epidemiology of lead poisoning.
