Submission received: 24 June 2019 / Accepted: 26 September 2019 / Published: 11 December 2019
The authors wish to add the following corrections to their paper published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health [1]. When calculating the T-score of Profile of Mood States (POMS) data, an error occurred. The following change should be made to Table 1, Figure 7 and its explanation in the published article. The change does not affect the conclusions of the article in any way.
Table 1 should be replaced with the following:
Figure 7 should be replaced with the following figure:
Lines 10–12 on page 1880 should be replaced with the following text:
The T-score was used for the analysis of the POMS test.
The lines 24–27 in page 1883 should be changed as follows:
In the POMS analysis (Figure 7), significant differences were observed during the post-exposure period between the rural and urban environments, respectively, for all of the subscale scores including those for T–A (42.7 ± 2.3; 50.2 ± 3.8; p < 0.05), D (44.5 ± 2.8; 47.8 ± 4.0; p < 0.05), A–H (40.1 ± 1.7; 47.1 ± 4.4; p < 0.01), V (44.0 ± 2.3; 38.5 ± 2.4; p < 0.05), F (41.5 ± 2.6; 50.7 ± 4.0; p < 0.01), and C (45.6 ± 2.2; 50.9 ± 3.9; p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the baseline period values between the rural and urban environments, respectively: T–A (46.7 ± 3.2; 44.7 ± 4.4), D (46.8 ± 3.3; 47.2 ± 3.0), A–H (43.8 ± 2.8; 41.5 ± 1.9), V (43.1 ± 2.6; 40.9 ± 2.6), F (47.4 ± 3.9; 46.4 ± 4.2), and C (47.5 ± 2.7; 49.4 ± 3.8).
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by this error.
