Data for : Contribution of different land use catchments on the microplastic pollution in detention basin sediments
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a dataset, not a research paper. It contains microplastic measurements collected from sediment samples at eleven detention basins (water collection ponds), including particle counts, size distributions, mass estimates, sample locations and data used for statistical analysis in a related study.
This dataset includes the various data used in the article named : Contribution of different land use catchments on the microplastic pollution in detention basin sediments (10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123882) Several files : Raw microplastic data files by sample (detention basin) : MP_data_BUE, MP_data_Django, MP_data_Pierre_Blanche, MP_data_Pilon, MP_data_Sath_BR, MP_data_Sath_DSM, MP_data_Triangle, MP_data_Leopha, MP_data_ZAC, MP_data_Ch_Feyzin, MP_data_Buisson and the text file READ_ME_parameters_data_MP defines the parameters used. File MP_concentration_per_basin present microplastic concentrations per sample in terms of abundance and mass estimates File db_regression_MP contains the database used to perform the various statistical analyses (correlation, regression models), and the text file READ_ME_parameters_db_regression_MP defines the parameters used. File Gradistat_all presents the particle size distribution results for each sample using the Gradistat v9.1 file. File characteristics_sample presents the GPS coordinates of the various sampling sites and key characteristics

Contribution of different land use catchments on the microplastic pollution in detention basin sediments
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured microplastic pollution in detention basin sediments receiving runoff from catchments with different land uses — residential, commercial, and industrial — finding that industrial catchments contributed the highest microplastic loads. Particle morphology differed by land use type, with industrial sites associated with more fragments and commercial areas with more fibres.
Characterization of microplastics accumulated in sediments of stormwater detention basins, in relation to the land use patterns in the contributing catchment.

Microplastics in stormwater detention basin sediments were characterized and linked to surrounding land use, with roads and residential areas contributing the highest concentrations and most diverse plastic types.
Microplastics pollution in urban freshwater sediments: A descriptive assessment of land-use categories
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of stormwater retention ponds across different urban land uses in an unspecified city found that microplastic concentrations in pond sediments varied by land type, with levels linked to the surrounding activities such as residential, educational, and mixed-use development. Using Nile red fluorescence staining for identification, the research maps how urban stormwater systems accumulate microplastics and highlights these ponds as overlooked pollution hotspots. Understanding which land uses drive the most contamination can help target urban plastic management interventions.
Impact of land cover on microplastics accumulation in freshwater sediments
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tracked microplastic accumulation in freshwater sediments across sites with different land cover types, examining temporal trends to understand how land use affects plastic discharge into waterways. Land cover type was a significant predictor of sediment microplastic concentration, with urbanized and agricultural catchments showing higher accumulation.
