Source data for microplastic mobility in groundwater aquifers
Summary
This is a duplicate data repository entry for the same groundwater microplastic mobility study as ID 1716, containing source code and surface-energy interaction calculations for microplastics in aquifer sand. Duplicate entry; the underlying research addresses microplastic movement through groundwater—an important but underexplored pathway to drinking water.
This repository contains the source data and custom code used to compute the XDLVO surface element integrals between microplastics and quartz sand based on the superellipsoid model in this study. This work was also supported by the "Ocean Decade" China Action International Cooperation Seed Fund Project (No. GHZZ3702840002024020000027).

Source data for microplastic mobility in groundwater aquifers
This is a data repository entry containing source code and data for a study on how microplastic particles move through groundwater aquifers, using a surface-energy model to calculate interactions between microplastics and quartz sand grains. Understanding microplastic transport through soil and groundwater is critical for assessing whether these particles can reach drinking water supplies. The data itself (not a full paper) supports research into a largely unstudied contamination pathway.
Supplementary data for microplastic mobility in groundwater aquifers
This research provides data and computer models to understand how tiny plastic particles move through underground water sources that supply drinking water. The study helps scientists predict where microplastics might end up in groundwater systems. This matters because microplastics in drinking water could potentially affect human health, so understanding how they spread underground helps protect water supplies.
Supplementary data for microplastic mobility in groundwater aquifers
This study provides data and computer models to understand how tiny plastic particles (microplastics) move through underground water sources that supply our drinking water. The research helps scientists predict where these plastic particles will end up in groundwater systems. This matters because microplastics are increasingly found in drinking water, and understanding their movement helps us better protect water supplies and assess potential health risks.
Studying the transport and retention of naturally occurring microplastics (MPs) in sandy soils using column experiments
Scientists used laboratory experiments to study how microplastics move through sandy soils, which is relevant for understanding whether they can reach groundwater used for drinking. The findings help assess the risk of microplastic contamination in underground water supplies.
Groundwater in the age of plastic
This review examines microplastic contamination of groundwater globally, synthesizing studies on occurrence, transport pathways through soil and aquifer matrices, and the emerging implications for drinking water safety and groundwater ecosystem health.
