ClearCorrigendum 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 to “Microplastic Human Dietary Uptake from 1990 to 2018 Grew across 109 Major Developing and Industrialized Countries but Can Be Halved by Plastic Debris Removal”
Researchers published a correction to a large modeling study that tracked human dietary microplastic intake across 109 countries from 1990 to 2018, updating the units used for key intake parameters so that results are correctly expressed in kilograms per person per day. The underlying finding — that microplastic ingestion grew over this period but could be significantly reduced by removing plastic debris — remains unchanged.
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.
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.
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: 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 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.
Accumulation of airborne microplastics on leaves of different tree species in the urban environment
Researchers measured airborne microplastics collected on tree leaves in urban areas of the Netherlands and Portugal, finding that needle-shaped leaves from pine and fir trees captured the most particles per surface area. Trees appear to act as natural filters for airborne microplastics, especially the smallest particles, and more plastic accumulated on leaves during dry periods. This matters for human health because airborne microplastics are a growing source of exposure through breathing.
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.
Foliar retention of atmospheric microplastics: Influence of leaf surface properties and rainfall intensity
Researchers found that leaf surface properties and rainfall intensity significantly influence how much atmospheric microplastics are retained on plant foliage, with leaves near a landfill retaining up to 0.80 items/cm2 and autumn showing the highest seasonal accumulation across five common urban tree species.
Microplastics in the atmosphere: Adsorb on leaves and their effects on the phyllosphere bacterial community
A field study found that plant leaves in urban areas collect an average of about 3.6 airborne microplastic particles per square centimeter, mostly smaller than 80 micrometers, including polyamide and polyethylene. The microplastics significantly changed the bacterial communities living on leaf surfaces, potentially increasing the presence of disease-related bacteria. This finding is concerning because bacteria on contaminated leaves could enter the food chain through vegetables and fruits, or become airborne and be inhaled by people.
Author Correction: Non-buoyant microplastic settling velocity varies with biofilm growth and ambient water salinity
This is a published correction to a study on how microplastics sink through water, fixing labeling errors on the axes of a key figure showing the relationship between particle size and settling speed. The original research examined how factors like biofilm growth — the coating of microbes that accumulates on plastic surfaces — and water salinity affect how quickly non-floating microplastics sink.
Corrigendum to ’Microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes as rising threats: Their interaction represents an urgent environmental concern’ Current Research in Microbial Sciences 9 (2025) 100447
This is a published correction notice for an earlier article on microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes — it contains no new findings and only corrects an error in the original paper.
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.
Corrigendum to ‘Comparison of two pump-based systems for sampling small microplastics (>10 μM) in coastal waters’ [Environmental Pollution 363-P2 (2024) 125192]
Researchers issued a corrigendum correcting a previously published comparison of two pump-based sampling systems for small microplastics greater than 10 micrometers in coastal waters.
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 to “Incipient Motion of Exposed Microplastics in an Open-Channel Flow”
This is a correction notice to a previously published research article on the incipient motion of microplastics in open-channel water flow. The correction updates specific values or methods in the original study without changing the overall findings.
Correction: Nanoplastics in aquatic systems: challenges and advances in adsorptive removal technologies
This paper corrects an affiliation error in a previously published article on nanoplastics in aquatic systems, updating the listed department name from 'Department of Environmental Studies' to 'Department of Environmental Research.' No changes were made to the scientific content of the original study.
