Correction: A first assessment of microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in Hudson Bay and the surrounding eastern Canadian Arctic waters of Nunavut
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a correction notice for a published study on microplastics in Hudson Bay and eastern Canadian Arctic waters. The correction fixes a labeling error in Table 1 where latitude and longitude headings were transposed. The research findings themselves are unaffected by this correction.
Re: Huntington A, Corcoran PL, Jantunen L, Thaysen C, Bernstein S, Stern GA, and Rochman CM. 2020. A first assessment of microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in Hudson Bay and the surrounding eastern Canadian Arctic waters of Nunavut. FACETS 5: 432–454. 10.1139/facets-2019-0042 In the originally published article, the Longitude and latitude heading was mislabelled as Latitude and longitude in Table 1. The corrected table is shown here:

Author Correction: Microplastics distribution in the Eurasian Arctic is affected by Atlantic waters and Siberian rivers
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a correction notice to a study on microplastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean, showing that ocean currents from the Atlantic and rivers from Siberia are carrying tiny plastic particles into this remote region. This matters because it shows even the world's most untouched waters aren't safe from plastic pollution, and since Arctic fish and seafood are part of the global food chain, these microplastics can eventually make their way onto our plates. Note: this correction doesn't detail the specific findings that were fixed, so it's best to check the original study for the full results.
