Errata.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.

EHP regrets the incorrect and unintentional inference in "Paving Paradise: The Peril of Impervious Surfaces" [Environ Health Perspect 113:A456-A462 (2005)] that coal tar coal tar (k l)n. 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. A viscous black liquid containing numerous organic compounds that is obtained by the destructive distillation of coal and that has many uses including as raw material for many dyes, drugs, and paints. 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]. In Figure 1 of the article by Tsan et al. [Environ Health Perspect 113:1784-1786 (2005)], the double bond double bond n.
