چکیده
There are errors in the values for LARS for thyroid cancer throughout the paper. Please see below for a description of the errors and their corrections. There are errors in the last two sentences of the Abstract. The correct sentences are: Lifetime attributable risks (LARs) of thyroid cancers due to ingestion were 1.7–37×10 (Case 1) and 5.6–79×10 (Case 2) in Fukushima City, 0.73–13×10 in Tokyo, and 0.04–0.49×10 in Osaka. The contributions of LARs of thyroid cancers due to ingestion were 5.4%–11% of all exposure (Case 1) and 11%–25% (Case 2) in Fukushima City. There are errors in the seventh sentence of the “Lars of cancer incidence” section of the Results and Discussion. The correct sentence is: The LARs of thyroid cancers were 1.7– 37×10 in Fukushima City (Case 1), 5.6–79×10 in Fukushima City (Case 2), 0.73–13×10 in Tokyo, and 0.04–0.49×10 in Osaka, and the maximum LAR in Fukushima City (Case 1) was found in females<1 y old. There are errors in the eleventh sentence of the “Lars of cancer incidence” section of the Results and Discussion. The correct sentence is: The contributions of I to the lifetime-exposure thyroid doses were 88%-95% in Fukushima City (Case 1), 80%-91% in Fukushima City (Case 2), 89%–95% in Tokyo, and 42%–67% in Osaka. There are errors in the second and third sentences of the secondparagraph of the “Lars of cancer incidence” section ofthe Results and Discussion. The correct sentences are: The LARs of all solid cancers due to the three pathways were 1400–4100×10 in Fukushima City (Case 1) and 1400–4200×10 in Fukushima City (Case 2); those of thyroid cancer were 29–490×10 in Fukushima City (Case 1) and 33–510×10 in Fukushima City (Case 2) (Table 4). The contributions of LARs of all solid cancer due to ingestion were 0.3%–0.5% (Case 1) and 1.6%–3.1% (Case 2); those of thyroid cancer were 5.4%–11% (Case 1) and 11%–25% (Case 2). There are errors in the first sentence of the last paragraph of the “Lars of cancer incidence” section of the Results and Discussion. The correct sentence is: As described above, the contributions of I to the lifetime-exposure thyroid doses were>80% for Fukushima City, and the contributions of LARs from foods in the second and subsequent years were negligible. There are errors in Tables 3 and 4. Please see the corrected Tables 3 and 4 here.

Estimated Dietary Intake of Radionuclides and Health Risks for the Citizens of Fukushima City, Tokyo, and Osaka after the 2011 Nuclear Accident
The radionuclides released from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011 pose a health risk. In this study, we estimated the 1st-year average doses resulting from the intake of iodine 131 (131I) and cesium 134 and 137 (134Cs and 137Cs) in drinking water and food ingested by citizens of Fukushima City (∼50 km from the nuclear power plant; outside the evacuation zone), Tokyo (∼230 km), a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Risk Perception and Risk-Comparison Information Regarding Dietary Radionuclides after the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident
In the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, to facilitate evidence-based risk communication we need to understand radiation risk perception and the effectiveness of risk-comparison information. We measured and characterized perceptions of dread risks and unknown risks regarding dietary radionuclides in residents of Fukushima, Tokyo, and Osaka to identify the primar...
