'of' Narrator in a documentary
The narrator of a documentary said,
"Rodents chronically exposed to dosages many times greater than those of which humans would ever be exposed to did not show any signs of organ damage."
I may be splitting hairs, but I do believe the above is incorrect to include the preposition 'of' in bold.
Can someone confirm this or perhaps shed some light on why it was written thus or perhaps why you think the mistake was made?
Your time and efforts are appreciated.

Agreed- it appears to be a slip and should be 'to'.

Don't know why, but my view is different from yours. I think the "of" is needed here. (seriously don't know why)

another thought:
"...dosages many times greater than the dosages humans would ever be..."
so those talks about the dosages? and of which refers to the dosages humans are exposed to?
Can an authority explain this to me.
(sorry 1b3, firing off all these questions of my own. I am as interested in this question as you are.)
