PBDE Concentrations in Women: Harley et al. Respond

Clayton et al. respond.

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...

Fecundability and Serum PBDE Concentrations in Women

Harley et al. (2010) reported that as serum concentrations of BDE‐47, BDE‐99, BDE‐100, and BDE‐153 [polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners] increased, the time to achieve conception also increased (Harley et al. 2010). Although PBDE con‐ centrations in serum were measured only near the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, the authors reported that the association with a longer time...

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...
