Abstract
Correction for ‘Toxicity of nanoencapsulated bifenthrin to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)’ by Tamzin A. Blewett et al., Environ. Sci.: Nano, 2019, 6, 2777–2785, DOI: 10.1039/C9EN00598F.
There were errors in the LC50 values for bifenthrin and nano-bifenthrin in some locations in the original article:
(1) In the first paragraph of section “3.0 Results & discussion”, the LC50 values for bifenthrin and nano-bifenthrin were reversed. The corrected sentence is as follows: “Toxicity was characterized using an acute 96 h LC50 exposure, which yielded a value of 6.2 μg L−1 (95% C.I. 4.3–8.1 μg L−1) for bifenthrin and 11.2 μg L−1 for nano-bifenthrin (95% C.I. 9.1–13.4 μg L−1) (Fig. 1)”.
(2) In Fig. 1, the LC50 values for bifenthrin and nano-bifenthrin were reversed. The corrected figure is shown below.

| Fig. 1 Lethal concentration (where 50% mortality occurred, LC50) of bifenthrin or nano-bifenthrin in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following 96 h acute exposure to 8 concentrations of bifenthrin (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 μg L−1) or 10 concentrations of nano-bifenthrin (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 μg L−1). Data points represent means ± SEM of 5 replicates. | ||
(3) In the first sentence of section “4.0 Conclusions”, the LC50 value for nano-bifenthrin was stated incorrectly. The corrected sentence is as follows: “Overall, nano-bifenthrin demonstrates a reduced lethality (LC50 11.2 μg L−1) in comparison to its conventional counterpart (6.2 μg L−1)”.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
