Corrections and Clarifications.In "Biomass Combustion and Acute Respiratory Infections" [In This Issue. EHP EHP - Earthquake Hazards Program (US Geological Survey) EHP - Eastern Highlands Province (PNG) EHP - Educational Homestay Programs EHP - Effective Horsepower EHP - Electrical Hull Penetration EHP - Electron-Hole Pair EHP - Electron-Hole Potential method EHP - Emekci Hareket Partisi (Workers' Movement Party) EHP - Employee Health Program EHP - Engineering Heritage Plaque (Australia) EHP - Enhanced High Performance 109:A198 (2001)], it was incorrectly stated that acute respiratory infections "decline for exposures [is greater than] 2,000 [micro]g/[m.sup.3]." The correct sentence is as follows: In a study in rural Kenya, Ezzati and Kammen (p. 481) found that acute respiratory infections increase in proportion to biomass combustion with particulates [is less than] 10 [micro]m diameter but increase at a lower rate for exposures [is greater than] 2,000 [micro]g/[m.sup.3].

caffeine is transformed to a variety of metabolites, as much as 20% of
what is not transformed may pass intact through the body and sewage
filtration systems, and may reach coastal waters."EHP regrets the errors. |
