Erratum: Juvenile Toxicity Rodent Model to Study Toxicological Effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) at Dose Levels Derived from Italian Children Biomonitoring Study (Toxicological Sciences DOI: 10.1093/toxsci/kfz226)

Abstract

In the original publication, the following errors were present in the MATERIALS AND METHODS section, subheading Selection of Dose Levels: In the sentence "The estimated exposure of the children ranged from 0.03 to 8.92 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day", the unit was incorrectly written as "milligrams" instead of "micrograms". The correct estimated exposure for Italian children was 0.03 to 8.92 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day. Moreover, the dose levels of the animal experiment were correctly calculated since the appropriate adjustments (1000) for the conversion animal vs man was applied, but the phrase "Applying the appropriate adjustments to the animal vs man" was missing from the article. The full corrected sentences are as follows: "The estimated exposure of the children ranged from 0.03 to 8.92 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day. Applying the appropriate adjustments to the animal vs man, the 95th percentile corresponded to 2 mg/kg bw per day."
