Aa important error ud nlsstatearnt of fact la this Bulletin his been called to our attention by coe of our aeaber physicians. Please act# this correction la your copy so that further dissemination of the error is baited.
Us stated Incorrectly, as did the 133PH3 publication
(Silicosis la the Metal Mining Industry--A Revaluation. 1958-1961) *
I
that data vaa given on the "irevalence* of lead poisoning oaoeg 0. octal cine vorhers. The tera "prevalence" is Incorrect. In
fact the figures reported giving "lead poisoning* should have been
characterised as the cosher cf octal nine vorhers vho reported a
past history of lead poisoning up to the date of the study. Since
mdlcal records vere not consulted, nor examination of the employees
Bade, the results reported by the 0. 3. Public Health Service should
be given no greater significance than the previous statement warrants.
Very truly yours.
