Amendment published 17th February 2014.
The authors would like to make the following changes to their article:
Page 35, in the abstract on line 24 ‘66%’ should be ‘124%’ so that it reads:
‘The average nasal WBC increased by 124% over the initial screening levels and by 85% over the control levels 24 h after DEP exposure.’
Page 39, under the subtitle ‘Broccoli sprout extract attenuates DEP-induced nasal white blood cells’, line 5 ‘The total log nasal white blood cell counts 6 and 24 h post-DEP exposure increased to 4.50 ± 0.56, 4.73 ± 0.52 at control phase and 4.44 ± 0.51, 4.57 ± 0.46 (Fig. 2)’ should read:
‘The total log nasal white blood cell counts at the screen phase increased to 4.50± 0.56 and 4.73 ± 0.52 at 6 and 24 h post-DEP exposure, respectively.’
Page 39, Fig. 2 is replaced. A new and simplified version of Fig. 2 is provided in which the change of cell count from hour 0 (%) is plotted on the y-axis instead of ‘change in log cell ml-1 from baseline (%)’.
Page 39, after the last sentence of the ‘Results’ section the following text should be added:
‘The average nasal WBC increased by 124% over the initial screening levels and by 85% over the control levels 24 h after DEP exposure. However, total cell counts decreased by 54% when DEP challenge was preceded by daily BSE administration for 4 days (p < 0.001).’
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
