Reassessing the Risks of Tamiflu Use during a Pandemic to the Lower Colorado River

We wish to highlight an error in the article "Potential Risks Associated with the Proposed Widespread Use of Tamiflu" (Singer et al. 2007) in which we predicted environmental concentrations of Tamiflu (influenza antiviral) in several catchments in the United States and the United Kingdom....

Zusammenfassung:	We wish to highlight an error in the article "Potential Risks Associated with the Proposed Widespread Use of Tamiflu" (Singer et al. 2007) in which we predicted environmental concentrations of Tamiflu (influenza antiviral) in several catchments in the United States and the United Kingdom. An incorrect assumption was made in the hydrology of one of these catchments, the Lower Colorado River (LC).
