Description
Summary:This dataset presents microplastics in water samples collected from the underway system and CTD alongside the August 2019 zooplankton samples presented in https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.950296. These samples were initially digested using a homogenising solution and then filtered in preparation for Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis in combination with an automated polymer identification approach (SIMPLE software) to identify polymer types, shape and size. Microplastics were also visualised using a microscope to further determine shape and size, particularly of fibres. Data collected on the microplastics found includes; polymer type, shape, size, species ingestion and location. ... : Empty cells = nd ...
