ClearCorrection: 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: 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 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 “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 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: 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.
The whole life journey and destination of microplastics: A review
This review traces the full journey of microplastics from their environmental sources through their various pathways into the human body, and what happens once they get inside. Once ingested, microplastics can disrupt gut bacteria, damage the intestinal barrier, and then spread to other organs where they cause inflammation and toxicity. The review highlights significant gaps in our understanding and emphasizes the need for more research on how microplastics move through the body and accumulate over time.
Tracking Microplastics From Source to Impact: A Review of Environmental Presence, Exposure, Remediation, and Health Risks
Researchers reviewed current evidence on microplastic occurrence across environmental compartments, human tissues, and health outcomes, finding emerging links to digestive and respiratory harm while noting that remediation strategies remain limited and that future studies require better-standardized, environmentally relevant reference materials.
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: 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: 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.
Toward an Improved Understanding of the Ingestion and Trophic Transfer of Microplastic Particles: Critical Review and Implications for Future Research
A comprehensive review of over 800 species found that while microplastics are routinely found in the digestive tracts of aquatic organisms, they do not appear to bioaccumulate or biomagnify through food webs, with over 99% of observations locating particles in the gastrointestinal tract rather than tissues. The review calls for more standardized sampling and reporting to enable better temporal and spatial trend analysis.
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: Jia et al. Exposure to Polypropylene Microplastics via Oral Ingestion Induces Colonic Apoptosis and Intestinal Barrier Damage through Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Mice. Toxics 2023, 11, 127
This is a published correction to an earlier study on exposure to polypropylene microplastics via oral ingestion in mice, which found that polypropylene induced colonic apoptosis and intestinal barrier damage through oxidative stress and inflammation. The correction addresses specific errors in the original publication without changing the main findings.
Microplastics in the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Systematic Review
This systematic review summarizes research on microplastics found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It highlights that microplastics are accumulating in our digestive systems through food and water, and calls for urgent research to understand how these particles may affect gut health and overall well-being.
Correction: The observation of starch digestion in blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to microplastic particles under varied food conditions
This paper presents a correction to a previously published study examining starch digestion in blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to microplastic particles under varied food conditions.
A central role for fecal matter in the transport of microplastics: An updated analysis of new findings and persisting questions
This review examines the central role of fecal matter in transporting microplastics through ecosystems, analyzing how organisms ingest and excrete microplastics and the implications for environmental fate and human exposure monitoring.
