The original version of this article unfortunately contained two mistakes. There were discrepancies in Fig. 3 and Table 5 that have to be corrected as follows: (a) The “BCF > 50” which appear in Fig. 3 on page 9 has replaced with “BMF > 0.1”; (b) The red and yellow dot inserted in Table 5 for the environmental exposure potential and human health aspects of “Carbon nanotubes used to stiffen Babolat_ NSTM Tour TennisRacket” has been replaced with a gray and red dot, respectively.

Road-map for assigning an environmental hazard color code in NanoRiskCat. Red, yellow, and green indicate high, medium, and low indication of effect whereas gray indicates too limited data to make an assessment. Asterisk at least one “maybe” and the rest “no” or “no data”

The following shows the corrected Fig. 3

The following shows the corrected Table 5.
