In the article "Update: Blood Lead Levels -- United States,
1991-1994," on page 142, an incorrect population estimate was
given. In the fourth sentence of the first full paragraph, the
estimated 930,000 children in the population aged 1-5 years with
blood lead levels of greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL in 1991-1994
should have been 890,000 (95% confidence
interval=590,000-1,330,000).
These figures are based on the March 1993
undercount-adjusted Current Population Survey estimate for the
United States population.
