ClearCorrection to Human Consumption of Microplastics
This paper is a published correction to the 2019 study "Human Consumption of Microplastics" by Cox et al., which estimated how many microplastic particles people ingest annually through food, water, and air. The correction updates specific data or calculations in that widely cited paper.
Correction: Ricciardi et al. Microplastics in the Aquatic Environment: Occurrence, Persistence, Analysis, and Human Exposure. Water 2021, 13, 973
This is a published correction notice for a previously published review article on microplastics in aquatic environments.
Correction to: Risk-based management framework for microplastics in aquatic ecosystems
Researchers corrected mathematical errors in a previously published risk framework for microplastics in water, recalculating how particle volume and surface area were estimated. The corrected safety threshold values shifted modestly and all fell within the original confidence intervals, so the overall management conclusions remain unchanged despite the calculation fixes.
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.
Corrigendum to “Atmospheric microplastic input into wetlands: Spatiotemporal patterns, drivers, and unique ecological impacts” [Water Research, 268 (2025): 122601]
This corrigendum corrects published data on atmospheric microplastic deposition into wetlands, updating spatiotemporal patterns presented in a previous paper. The correction addresses specific data errors without changing the overall conclusions of the original study.
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: Effects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
This is a published correction to a previous study that examined how microplastic exposure affects the body condition and behavior of a planktivorous reef fish species. The correction addresses errors in the original article's data or methodology. The original research investigated whether ingesting microplastics changes how reef fish feed, grow, and behave in their natural environment.
Correction to “SettlingVelocities of SmallMicroplastic Fragments and Fibers”
This paper provides a published correction to a prior study on settling velocities of small microplastic fragments and fibers, addressing errors in the original data, calculations, or figures to ensure accurate reporting of particle sedimentation behavior relevant to environmental transport modeling.
Ingested microplastics: Do humans eat one credit card per week?
Researchers re-examined widely cited estimates that humans ingest about one credit card's worth of plastic per week and found significant methodological issues with the original calculations. After correcting for errors in particle size assumptions and concentration data, the revised estimates suggest actual microplastic ingestion is likely much lower than those headlines claimed. The study highlights the importance of rigorous methodology when communicating environmental health risks to the public.
Corrigendum: The presence of microplastics in commercial salts from different countries
Researchers published a corrigendum correcting an earlier study on the presence of microplastics in commercial salts from different countries, originally published in Scientific Reports in April 2017. The correction addresses specific errors or updates in the original article's data or methodology.
Correction: Tiny pollutants, big consequences: investigating the influence of nano- and microplastics on soil properties and plant health with mitigation strategies
This is a correction notice for a previously published review paper about how nano- and microplastics affect soil and plant health. The original paper examined how these tiny plastic particles change soil properties and harm plants. No new findings are presented in this correction.
Correction to: Characteristic of microplastics in the atmospheric fallout from Dongguan City, China: preliminary research and first evidence
This is a published correction to an earlier study on microplastics in atmospheric fallout from Dongguan City, China, fixing two errors in the original article. No new findings are presented.
Corrigendum to “Accumulation of airborne microplastics on leaves of different tree species in the urban environment” [Sci. Total Environ. Volume 948, 20 October 2024, page 174907]
Researchers published a correction to a figure in their study on airborne microplastic accumulation on urban tree leaves, fixing a unit error in the y-axis values (changed from p·m² to p·cm²). The correction does not change any conclusions from the original research.
Correction to: Quantitative analysis of PET microplastics in environmental model samples using quantitative 1H-NMR spectroscopy: validation of an optimized and consistent sample clean-up method
This is a published correction to a prior methodology paper on quantifying PET microplastics in environmental samples using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. No new findings are presented.
Correction to: No prominent toxicity of polyethylene microplastics observed in neonatal mice following intratracheal instillation to dams during gestational and neonatal period
This is a published correction to an earlier study that found no significant toxicity from polyethylene microplastics in newborn mice exposed through their mothers. The correction addresses a methodological detail in the original paper. The underlying finding — that intratracheal exposure to polyethylene microplastics during pregnancy and nursing caused no prominent toxicity — remains unchanged.
Correction: Metal–organic framework applications for microplastic remediation: exploring pathways and future potential
This is a published correction notice for a review article on using metal-organic frameworks to remove microplastics — it corrects errors in the original paper and contains no new findings.
Correction: Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics in vivo show potential gut health benefits
This is a published correction notice for a previously published study on probiotics that adsorb and excrete microplastics in living organisms. The correction addresses issues in the original article, which explored the potential gut health benefits of probiotic strains that can bind to microplastic particles. The original research examined the capacity of certain probiotic bacteria to interact with microplastics within the digestive system.
Correction: Comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of microplastic prevalence and abundance in freshwater fish species: the effect of fish species habitat, feeding behavior, and Fulton’s condition factor
This is a correction notice for a previously published meta-analysis on microplastic prevalence in freshwater fish and does not contain new scientific findings.
Correction: Wavelength-specific UV LED and far-UVC degradation of microplastics.
Researchers issued a correction to a published study on wavelength-specific UV LED and far-UVC degradation of microplastics, updating findings from the original 2026 investigation.
Erratum: Microplastics, potential threat to patients with lung diseases
This entry is an erratum correcting a previously published article on microplastics as a potential threat to patients with lung diseases, providing updated or corrected information to the original study. No new scientific findings are presented beyond the correction to the prior publication.
