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

Abstract

The original version of this article contained a mistake. Regrettably, before online publication the word "sediment" was accidentally removed in Figure 5 due to a technical error.

Method Development for Separation and Analysis of Tire and Road Wear Particles from Roadside Soil Samples

“…Pyrolysis GC–MS and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have been used to evaluate the extracted intermediates. , GC–MS was selected here as a nontargeted, suspect screening full scan analysis technique to identify all GC-amenable additive compounds in the tread and roadside soil extracts, using a GC–MS system (Agilent 7820 AGC/5975 MSD) equipped with an Agilent 19091S column (30m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm). Electron ionization mode with MS transfer line and ion source temperatures of 300 °C were used with a sample injection volume of 5 μL, oven temperature range of 15 °C min –1 , initial temperature of 100 °C, inlet temperature of 300 °C, hold time of 10 min, and a split flow ratio of 100:1.…”

How fast, how far: Diversification and adoption of novel methods in aquatic microplastic monitoring

“…The first extraction method used for biota across all analysed studies was nitric acid (HNO3) (Claessens et al, 2013), which has been used by several other studies since. A few studies used other acids, such as formic (Hall et al, 2015), sulphuric (Peez et al, 2019), and acetic (Jemec et al, 2016).The use of alkaline and enzymatic digestion is more common for biota samples than water and sediment. Of all studies employing an extraction method, 34% used alkaline digestion, with KOH being the most common (Fig.…”
