In the October articles "Children's Centers Study Kids and Chemicals" [Environ Health Perspect 113:A664-A668 (2005)] and "Are EDCs Blurring Issues of Gender?" [Environ Health Perspect 113:A670-A677 (2005)], photographs and their captions erroneously imply that plastic drink bottles contain ortha-phthalates. Plastic drink bottles sold in the United States are made from polyethylene terephthalate and do not contain orthophthalates. Also, at the end of the EDCs article, references are made to plastic wrap and Saran Wrap. For clarification, neither plastic wrap nor Saran Wrap contains ortho-phthalates.

 pitch is used in the actual hot-mix asphalt used to pave roads. Coal tar pitch is instead used in many sealcoat formulations used atop asphalt pavement. Findings published in the 1 August 2005 issue of Environmental Science & Technology suggest, in fact, that coal tar-based parking lot sealant may be a major contributor to stream loads of polycydic aromatic hydrocarbons, including many known carcinogens.

In Figure 1 of the article by Chen et al. [Environ Health Perspect 113:1723-1729 (2005)], the legend should have read (A) P[M.sub.10]; (B) P[M.sub.2.5], instead of (A) P[M.sub.2.5]; (B) P[M.sub.10].
