Estimating Risk of Circulatory Disease: Little et al. Respond

Environmental Health Perspectives • volume 120 | number 12 | December 2012 A 453 highly exposed individuals. The authors then fitted a linear ERR model to the data of the meta-analysis and derived mortality risks at low-level radiation by extrapolation. Linear extrapolation is used in radiation protection if cohort strata pertaining to low doses and dose rates have low statistical power. There ...

Lusk et al. respond.

We thank Schimek for his thoughtful letter. We agree that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) encourages bike paths; however, AASHTO’s definition of a bike path is a shared use path for pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other nonmotorized users. AASHTO discourages bicycle-only cycle tracks because, as noted by Schimek, AASHTO discou...

Nanotoxicology: Gangwal et al. Respond

Gangwal et al. (2011) addressed an important topic for nanotoxicology about assessing the toxicity of inhaled nano materials by recom mending relevant concentrations for in vitro toxicity testing. Their efforts to select in vitro concentrations based on reported occupational exposure levels of inhaled nano materials are, indeed, laudable. Their under lying conceptual approach is logical, involv...
