Erratum: Acute toxicity of emamectin benzoate and its desmethyl metabolite to Eohaustorius estuarius

Abstract

Kuo J-n, Buday C, van Aggelen G, Ikonomou MG, Pasternak J. 2010. Acute toxicity of emamectin benzoate and its desmethyl metabolite to Eohaustorius estuarius. Environ Toxicol Chem 29:1816–1820. DOI: 10.1002/etc.209 Recently, the authors of the above-noted article learned that the formula provided in Environment Canada's Biological Test Method RM/42 document [1] for converting from wet weight to dry weight was incorrect. As a result, Environment Canada will be undertaking corrections by issuing errata to the RM/42 document. Abstract – Page 1816 Line 4: Incorrect: (0.146 and 0.015 mg/kg dry wt) Correct: (0.235 and 0.0241 mg/kg dry wt) Results and Discussion – Second paragraph, right-hand column, page 1819 Lines 4–5: Incorrect: 0.146 (CI = 0.134–0.157 mg/k dry wt) Correct: 0.235 (CI = 0.216–0.253 mg/k dry wt) Lines 5–6: Incorrect: 0.015 mg/kg dry weight (CI = 0.013–0.017 mg/k wet wt) Correct: 0.024 mg/kg dry weight (CI = 0.020–0.028 mg/k dry wt) REFERENCE 1.
