is erratum to 5080401 Developmental toxicity of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and its chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate alternative F-53B in the domestic chicken

The authors regret that the units of the PFOS and F-53B concentrations detected in the chicken liver should be expressed in μg/g instead of mg/g.

Therefore, the unit changes in the following sentences:

(1) The first sentence of the Results and Discussion section: “Actual concentrations detected in the liver can be found in Table S2 and ranged from 1.08–2.17, 11.6–28.4, 1.04–2.20, and 7.87–23.4 μg/g, for PFOS LD, PFOS HD, F- 53B LD, and F-53B HD, respectively”.
(2) The last sentence on page 12864: “A high dose of F-53B and PFOS (including single and mixture treatments) corresponded to an actual concentration range of 7.87–23.4 and 11.6–28.4 μg/g detected in the liver, respectively (Supporting Information Table S2)”.
(3) The caption of Supporting Information Table S2: “Table S2: Median (min–max) hepatic concentration (μg/g liver) in the hatchlings and the mass-corrected fraction of the nominal injected PFOS and F-53B detected in the liver of newly hatched chicks after in ovo injection. N = 6 for each treatment; LOD: limit of detection”.
All calculations were originally done using the correct units and this error does therefore not affect the discussion or conclusions of the article.

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience.
