In the Fig. 2A image, the colour of ¹⁴C-phenanthrene + 20 nm and ¹⁴C-phenanthrene + 500 nm were switched in error: ¹⁴C-phenanthrene + 20 nm group is labelled as the red triangle but it is supposed to be green, and the green dot (¹⁴C-phenanthrene + 500 nm) is supposed to be red. The corrected image, caption and sentence are shown below.

Fig. 2 Percentage of initial ¹⁴C-phenanthrene that either passed through the chorionic membrane of zebrafish embryos (A), or accumulated in zebrafish larvae (B) after incubation for various periods in the control (¹⁴C-phenanthrene alone no PS-NPs), in the presence of 20 nm PS-NPs at 10 mg L⁻¹, or 500 nm PS-NPs at 10 mg L⁻¹. The rate (μg kg⁻¹ h⁻¹) of ¹⁴C-phenanthrene crossing the zebrafish embryo chorion over 4 h (C) and uptake by larvae over 24 h (D) with or without 20 nm or 500 nm PS-NPs. Means sharing the same letter are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05). Values are mean ± SEM. n = 4.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
