Text Correction
There was an error in the original article [1]. The error concerned the unit of air when referring to the standard of 2 million asbestos fibers longer than 5 microns in length.
A correction has been made to Section 3, paragraph 5: “Therefore, at a standard of 2 million asbestos fibers larger than 5 microns in length per cubic meter of air would mean somewhere in the range of inhaling 16 million “permissible” fibers.”
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused, and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
