Abstract

During the reply to a letter to the Editor by Carol Stewart, David E Damby, Ines Tomašek and Claire J Horwell “Experimental design and data relevance in a volcanic ash-leachate health study” we have detected some errors in the data transcription of Table 2 and the connected figures. We acknowledge them for this. The purpose of this note is amend these errors with our apologies. Keywords: The last keyword “risk assessment” might be substituted by “risk evaluation” Table 2 might be substituted by the one we provide here: [Table presented] Table 2 new caption: Concentration of dissolved elements released during leaching experiment expressed as mg/kgt, all elements measured with ICP-MS except the ones marked with *, measured with ICP-OES. In italic are reported the RLM of the elements for which is known the concentration of tephras emitted during the 2012 and 2013 eruptions (Behncke et al., 2014; Bonaccorso et al., 2014). A series of leaching experiments were conducted on a basis of 30′, 60′, and 90′ and the results here provided correspond to the 30′ run, since with extending time several phenomena o element precipitation has been detected. Figs. 3 and 4 might be also replaced by the ones below, without changing the original captions. New Fig. 3: [Figure presented] New Fig. 4: [Figure presented] The last phrase of the first paragraph in the second column of p 6: “Results are comparable for Be, Zr, Tl, Se, Ni, Rb, Ba, Sr, K, Al, Na and Ca, whereas the other elements contents are lower when compared to literature data; in some cases (P, Fe and Cl) the difference is of four orders of magnitude (Fig. 3).” Might be substituted by: “Results are comparable for most elements, i.e. for Be, Zr, Tl, Se, Ni, Rb, Ba, Sr, K, Al, Na and Ca, whereas the other elements contents are lower when compared to literature data; in some cases the difference is of four (Cl), three (P) of two (Fe) orders of magnitude (Fig. 3).
