Erratum: Degradation of trifluoroacetate in oxic and anoxic sediments

Nature 369, 729-731 (1994) IN the last sentence of the opening paragraph of this Letter, an error was introduced during editing in which fluoroform was referred to as a "potential ozone-depleting compound." In fact, fluoroform as well as other HFCs were recently shown by Ravishankara et al.1 to have"negligibly small" ozone depletion potentials.
