Dataset of "A multi-tracer approach to constrain microplastic contamination on urban aquifers: insights from an Asian megacity"
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset comes from a study tracking microplastic pollution in underground water sources beneath a major Asian city, using water chemistry clues to figure out where the plastic bits are coming from. Since many cities rely on underground water (groundwater) for drinking water, understanding how microplastics get in, and from where, is an important step toward figuring out if and how it should be filtered out before it reaches your tap.
Dataset S1.xls is composed of two separate worksheets, providing hydrochemical and microplastic data, respectively.

Dataset of "A multi-tracer approach to constrain microplastic contamination on urban aquifers: insights from an Asian megacity"
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset is too limited to summarize meaningfully: it only describes spreadsheet contents (water chemistry and microplastic measurements) from a study on groundwater beneath a major Asian city, without sharing actual findings. Since groundwater is a drinking water source for millions, understanding how microplastics get into it matters, but the details on contamination levels or health risks aren't included here.
River-groundwater Interaction and Recharge Effects on Microplastics Contamination of Groundwater in Confined Alluvial Aquifers: Original dataset
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a dataset entry supporting a study on microplastic contamination in confined alluvial groundwater aquifers, covering the role of river-groundwater interaction in transporting microplastics into subsurface water. Raw analysis data from environmental and control samples are provided. It is a supporting dataset rather than a full research paper.
Microplastic accumulation in groundwater: Data-scaled insights and future research
AI summary Read the abstract
This data-driven review of nearly 400 groundwater samples worldwide found that microplastics are present in both shallow and deep groundwater, with open groundwater sources showing higher contamination than enclosed aquifers. The findings are relevant to human health because groundwater supplies drinking water for billions of people, and the study identifies key gaps in our understanding of how microplastics accumulate underground.
Microplastics in groundwater: a global analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a global groundwater sampling study to characterize microplastic contamination in aquifer systems worldwide, investigating transport mechanisms and fate of particles in anoxic subsurface environments where knowledge gaps remain despite extensive research on surface water systems.
River-groundwater Interaction and Recharge Effects on Microplastics Contamination of Groundwater in Confined Alluvial Aquifers: Original dataset
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a duplicate dataset entry for the river-groundwater microplastic contamination study, providing the same raw data on microplastic analysis in confined alluvial aquifer samples.
