Corrections.In "Longterm Follow-Up of Residents of the Three Mile Island Accident For details on this station, see . The Three Mile Island accident was the most significant in the history of the American commercial nuclear power generating industry. It resulted, however, in no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of the nearby community. Area: 1979-1998" [EHP EHP abbr. 1. effective horsepower 2. electric horsepower 111:341-348 (2003)]) Talbott et al. attributed a statement to Maureen Hatch through a reference that was incorrect and would like to correct the error. In addition, there was an incorrect reference to one of her works that appeared several times. On page 342 (second column, line 18 of the second paragraph), the Hatch et al. reference (Hatch et al. 1991) should not have been included; the corrected sentence appears below: Additionally, individual exposures were not known but estimated. Several other researchers indicated that the exposures may have been several orders of magnitude larger than originally estimated (Wing and Richardson 2000). Also, Talbott et al. (2003) incorrectly referenced "Hatch et al. 1991" throughout their paper; the correct reference is as follows: Hatch MC, Beyea J, Nieves JW, Susser M. 1990. Cancer Near the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant: Radiation Emissions. Am J Epidemiol 132(3):397-412. Thus, "Hatch et al. 1991" should be replaced with "Hatch et al. 1990" throughout the text of Talbott et al.'s paper (Talbott et al. 2003); the specific locations are as follows: a) page 341, second column, last paragraph; b) page 341, third column, second paragraph; c) page 342, second column, second paragraph; d) page 343, first column, third paragraph; e) page 343, second column, first line; and f) page 347, second column, third paragraph. The authors regret the errors. In the March Focus article "The Earth's Open Wounds: Abandoned and Orphaned or·phan n. 1. a. A child whose parents are dead. b.

In fact, although these states are eligible to receive SMCRA funds, they may or may not have applied for them. EHP regrets the error. |
