Supplementary Material - Use of Pomacea figulina as a biomonitor species for the identification of microplastics in freshwater environments

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) 2026

Summary

Researchers compiled morphological classification, size measurement, FTIR polymer characterization, and depuration-phase image data for microplastics found in the freshwater snail Pomacea figulina, providing a reproducible dataset to support its use as a biomonitor species in freshwater microplastic surveillance.

Study Type Environmental

This dataset contains all files associated with the analysis of microplastic depuration in Pomacea figulina. File: Control_depuration_period:This file includes morphological classifications of the particles (e.g., color and plastic type), size measurements, and the corresponding image codes. These data are associated with samples collected during the depuration phase. File: Figures_depuration_period_total :This folder contains all stereomicroscope images obtained during the debugging experiment. This folder is zipped. Each image file is named according to the corresponding code provided in the “image” column of the Control_depuration_period file spreadsheet, allowing direct linking between the visual records and the dataset entries. File: Results – FTIR:This file contains the characterization of particles using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). It provides information on the polymer composition of the analyzed materials. Origin file: Depuration_pre_exposition:This file (Origin format) contains all data processing, statistical analyses, and graphical outputs used in the study. It includes the full workflow for analyzing depuration.
