Widespread Microplastic Pollution in Central Appalachian Streams: Implications for Freshwater Ecosystem Sustainability
Researchers evaluated microplastic pollution in freshwater streams across central Appalachia by examining the gut contents of 55 northern hogsucker fish from seven streams. They found an average of nearly 40 microplastic particles per fish, with the highest contamination in watersheds affected by mining, agriculture, and urban development. The study fills an important gap in understanding microplastic contamination in Appalachian freshwater systems and its potential consequences for ecosystem health.
Correction: Corrigendum: The presence of microplastics in commercial salts from different countries
This brief notice is a correction to a previously published paper reporting microplastic contamination in commercial salts. The corrigendum addresses technical errors in the original study findings without changing the overall conclusion that microplastics are detectable in sea salt intended for human consumption.
Correction: Comprehensive investigation on microplastics from source to sink
This correction clarifies that a prior review paper mischaracterized evidence on microplastic gut translocation, replacing the incorrect statement that most spherical microplastics pass through the gut wall with the accurate interpretation of the cited source.
