Submission received: 4 May 2021 / Accepted: 27 July 2021 / Published: 29 September 2021
The authors would like to make the following corrections (1 and 2) to this paper [1].
Regarding correction 1, in the earlier paper we inadvertently used the statistics for no sampling of currently occupied site buildings instead of current site buildings. Regarding correction 2, we made a typographical error in an earlier draft, exchanging references [41] and [43]. This caused us to misplace data from reference [41] for data from reference [43] in the earlier paper.
  • As a result, part of line 6 of the first paragraph on p. 8 was published as:
“collected no sub-slab samples for 89% of 26 currently occupied buildings”
but, instead, the preceding material should be corrected to:
“collected no required sub-slab samples for 86% of 29 current buildings”.
2.
As a result, the third paragraph of p. 12 was published as:
Second, CBRE/TCC’s 2018 below-all-screening-levels claim is false because when the Canoga Park sampling was conducted in 2018, the 2018 EPA TCFM-screening/health-protective level was 730 µg/m3 [53]. Yet this is a TCFM level that 100% of Canoga Park soil-gas samples violate; indeed, 80% of Canoga Park soil-gas samples violate this 730 µg/m3 level by three orders of magnitude [43]. Moreover, CBRE/TCC used a 2017 screening/health-protective level at other sites of 1300 µg/m3 TCFM [39], and 93% of all Canoga Park soil-gas samples violate CBRE/TCC’s own protective level; 80% of all Canoga Park soil-gas samples violate this health-protective level by at least two orders of magnitude [43].”
Instead, the preceding paragraph should be corrected to:
Second, CBRE/TCC’s 2018 below-all-screening-levels claim is false because, when the Canoga Park sampling was conducted, the ATSDR/EPA TCFM-screening/health-protective soil–gas/indoor-air levels, respectively, were 7300/730 µg/m3 [53]. Yet, 92% of Canoga Park soil–gas samples violated this ATSDR/EPA level, and 77% violated this level by two orders of magnitude [41]. Moreover, CBRE/TCC used a 2017 screening/health-protective level at other sites of 1300 µg/m3 TCFM [39], and 92% of all Canoga Park soil–gas samples violated CBRE/TCC’s own protective level; 77% of all Canoga Park soil-gas samples violated this health-protective level by at least two orders of magnitude [41].”
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience to the readers caused by these errors.
