✦ Synopsis

I wish to bring to your attention an error in our recently published manuscript (1989), "Lung cancer in motor exhaust-related occupations." In the abstract "0.9 (95% CI = 0.6-1.2) for those with possible exposure to other recognized or reported lung carcinogens" should read as " 1.2 (95% CI = 0.7-2.0) for those with possible exposure to other recognized or reported lung carcinogens," as is correctly stated in the text (p. 690, last paragraph).

I do not believe that this error substantially changes the interpretation of the study results.
