Size of plastic particles from environmental compartments
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset measures the actual sizes of plastic particles found in the environment, like in water, soil, or air. Knowing exact particle sizes matters because smaller plastic bits can more easily enter our bodies through air, food, or water, and may pose greater health risks than larger pieces. This kind of size data helps scientists better understand our real exposure to microplastics.
Dataset reporting at least the length and width of all plastic particles from environmental samples. Unbinned data.

Size of plastic particles from environmental compartments
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset measures the actual sizes of plastic particles found in soil, water, and air samples from the environment, without lumping them into broad categories. Knowing precise particle sizes matters because smaller plastic bits are more likely to enter our bodies through air, food, or water, and may pose greater health risks than larger ones. This kind of detailed data helps scientists better understand our real exposure to microplastics.
