An incorrect word was used in the section Part 1. Introduction: historical background, Ecosystem perspective and low-intensity exposures, paragraph 2.
The paragraph read:
“In its natural state, very little radiofrequency radiation (RFR) reaches the Earth's surface. Aside from the Earth's natural extremely low frequency (ELF) direct current (DC) static magnetic fields and the Schumann Resonances, lightening and sunlight would primarily comprise our ecological exposures to the electromagnetic spectrum.”
The corrected paragraph reads:
“In its natural state, very little radiofrequency radiation (RFR) reaches the Earth's surface. Aside from the Earth's natural extremely low frequency (ELF) direct current (DC) static magnetic fields and the Schumann Resonances, lightning and sunlight would primarily comprise our ecological exposures to the electromagnetic spectrum.”
An incorrect unit was used in the section Part 2. Addressing radiation impacts to wildlife: policy ramifications, Science-based policy, paragraph 4.
The phrase read “SAR: 0.003 W/kg (3 μW/kg);”.
The corrected phrase reads “SAR: 0.003 W/kg (3 mW/kg);”
