Correction to: Residential proximity to industrial combustion facilities and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a case-control study

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in the unit of the average emission metric (AEI). The AEI was incorrectly reported as nanograms (ng) toxic equivalency quotient (TEQ)/year in the abstract, methods, discussion, and Table 1. The correct unit is grams (g) TEQ/year. The authors apologize for this error.

Residential proximity to industrial combustion facilities and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A case-control study

Background: Residence near municipal solid waste incinerators, a major historical source of dioxin emissions, has been associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in European studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate residence near industrial combustion facilities and estimates of dioxin emissions in relation to NHL risk in...

Determinants of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in house dust samples from four areas of the United States

Determinants of levels of polychlorinated dibenzo- p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) in dust in U.S. homes are not well characterized. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the relationship between concentrations of PCDD/F in house dust and residential proximity to known sources, including industrial facilities and traffic....
