Errata Please note: The report was updated in 2001. The following Errata only apply to the first printing (2000). 1) Page 84 - "Second, the low concentrations of chlorpyrifos necessary to impair DNA synthesis and cell division are actually lower than exposure levels of children under some pesticide home-use conditions." Should read: "Second, the exposures to chlorpyrifos shown to impair DNA synthesis and cell division in animal tests are only about 4-5 times higher than potential exposure levels of children under some pesticide home-use conditions." 2) Page 66-67 - "Based on the Seychelles study the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has established a minimum risk level for oral exposure to methylmercury at 0.5 mg/kg/day."
