Author Correction: Airborne microplastic particles detected in the remote marine atmosphere
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a research article on airborne microplastic particles detected in the remote marine atmosphere, noting a specific error in the original paper that required correction. The underlying study documented that microplastics are transported to and deposited in remote ocean regions through atmospheric pathways.

Author Correction: Microplastic pollution in seawater and marine organisms across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers published a correction to their study on microplastic pollution across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos, clarifying that plastic fibres were the dominant form found and specifying the location with the highest concentration of microplastic particles was in international waters. Microplastic fibres are among the most pervasive forms of plastic pollution in ocean environments worldwide.

Author Correction: Atmospheric transport and deposition of microplastics in a remote mountain catchment
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a study on atmospheric transport and deposition of microplastics in a remote mountain catchment, adding missing acknowledgments and fixing an incorrect reference. The underlying finding—that microplastics travel through the atmosphere to reach pristine remote environments—remains unchanged and significant.
Corrigendum to “Atmospheric microplastic input into wetlands: Spatiotemporal patterns, drivers, and unique ecological impacts” [Water Research, 268 (2025): 122601]
