Editorial
Author Information
Author(s): Colbert et al.
Conclusion
The exposure estimates for children were incorrectly stated and have been corrected from milligrams to micrograms.
Supporting Evidence
- Children aged 1–6 years are exposed to 0.167 μg Vz/kg body weight/day.
- A 2-year-old boy weighing 13 kg would consume an average of 2.17 μg Vz/day.
- A 6-year-old child weighing 21 kg would consume an average of 3.51 μg Vz/day.
Takeaway
The study found a mistake in how much of a substance children are exposed to, and they fixed it to show it's actually less than previously thought.
