Abstract

The authors regret that an incorrect Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC) value for clarithromycin was used in the original published article. The correct PNEC for clarithromycin is 0.25 μg/L, not 0.064 μg/L as was recorded in Table 1 of this publication. As a consequence, changes in the statistics for clarithromycin and in the discussion are noted below: Page 1: Corrected AbstractOur study revealed that 5.9% of all analyses of antibiotic residues performed in the environmental matrices globally exceeded PNEC. Ciprofloxacin (34.9%) and enrofloxacin (10.7%) had the greatest proportion of residues exceeding PNEC. Page 3: Corrected Table 1:The values for clarithromycin and the total values have changed, as is highlighted in the table below. [Table presented] Page 4: Corrected Figure 1:The figure 1 values for clarithromycin changed, as shown below [Figure presented] Additional Corrections to Text (in bold) [Table presented] The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
