Abstract

The authors regret that an error that has unfortunately occurred in the above-mentioned publication. A variable was mixed up in the evaluation, namely it was wrongly assumed that the values of creatinine in the serum were given, but in reality it is creatinine in the urine. This does not change the core findings of the study, as the results on lead concentrations are correct. However, all statements relating to serum creatinine and potential renal disfunction should be ignored, Figs. 2 and 3 and Formula 1 included. With regard to the discussion, it should be mentioned that the interpretation in terms of possible kidney damage due to lead exposure with increased (serum) creatinine as an indicator cannot be substantiated on the basis of our data. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.[Formula presented][Formula presented][Formula presented] CRediT authorship contribution statement T.
