Conclusion

The correction clarifies the units of measurement for occupational standards and emission rates in the study.

Supporting Evidence

  • Units for all of the occupational standards should be in mg/m3; not in μg/m3.
  • Units for reference [60] should be in μg/(m2 h); not in g/(m2 h).
  • Emission rates for caulking are 310 μg m−2 h−1, followed by carpet pads at 2.1 to 9.9 μg m−2 h−1.

Takeaway

The authors fixed some mistakes in their earlier paper about naphthalene, making sure the units of measurement are correct.
