Correction to: Assessment of microplastic pollution: occurrence and characterisation in Vesijärvi lake and Pikku Vesijärvi pond, Finland
AI summary Read the abstract
A correction to a study assessing microplastic pollution in two Finnish water bodies (Vesijärvi lake and Pikku Vesijärvi pond) updates a misidentified fiber: what was reported as polyurethane is more accurately characterized as a possible PET-polyurethane blend.
In the original publication, Figure 5 and the related text incorrectly referred to a polyurethane fibre; however, it was a possible PET-polyurethane blend.
