Correction: Plastics in biota: technological readiness level of current methodologies
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a correction notice for a previously published article about methods used to detect and measure plastics in living organisms, clarifying an error in the conflict of interest disclosure. The original study evaluated how ready current laboratory techniques are for finding microplastics and nanoplastics inside biological tissue.
The original publication of this article [1] contained an incorrect 'Conflict of interest' statement. The incorrect and correct information is shown in this correction article, the original article has been updated. The authors declare no competing interests. Amy Lusher and Sebastian Primpke are members of the Editorial Board of Microplastics and Nanoplastics, and they were not involved in the journal’s review of, or decisions related to, this manuscript.

Plastics in biota: technological readiness level of current methodologies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated the scientific readiness of current laboratory methods for detecting and measuring plastic particles inside living organisms — from fish to insects — identifying which techniques are reproducible enough to be used in standardized environmental monitoring programs. Harmonizing these methods is critical for generating consistent, comparable data on how plastics accumulate across food webs.
