Manuscript Dataset
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compiled the supporting dataset for a study examining how surface wettability influences the aerosolization of microplastics via film and jet droplets ejected from bursting bubbles, providing the underlying data for figures describing aerosolization dynamics.
This Dataset contains all the data used to plot figures 1b, 1c, 2, 3a, 3b, 3c and S4c in the manuscript titled 'Effect of wettability on microplastics aerosolization via film and jet drops ejected from bursting bubbles' by Pokhrel and Foroutan submitted to Environmental Science Processes & Impact.

Effect of wettability on microplastic aerosolization via film and jet drops ejected from bursting bubbles
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers experimentally investigated how wettability of microplastic particles affects their aerosolization via film drops and jet drops ejected from bursting bubbles at the ocean surface. They found that particle wettability significantly controls the probability of microplastic inclusion in ejected droplets, with implications for understanding how microplastics transfer from the ocean surface into the atmosphere.

Researchers experimentally investigated how the wettability (hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity) of microplastic particles affects their enrichment into jet droplets ejected when bubbles burst at the ocean surface, providing new insight into the mechanisms by which microplastics are transferred across the air-sea interface and potentially aerosolized.

Researchers experimentally investigated how the wettability of microplastic particles influences their transfer from water to air via bubble bursting, using 1 micron diameter polystyrene particles with contrasting hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface modifications and finding that particle wettability significantly affects enrichment into aerosolized jet droplets.
Numerical simulations of bursting bubbles: effects of contamination on droplet ejection and micro- and nanoplastics transport
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists used computer simulations to study how tiny plastic particles get launched into the air when bubbles pop at water surfaces, like in oceans or wastewater treatment plants. They found that contaminants in the water change how bubbles burst and affect how many droplets containing microplastics are released into the air we breathe. This research helps us better understand how microplastics from polluted water can end up in the atmosphere and potentially impact human health through inhalation.
The rise and rupture of bubbles: applications to biofouling, microplastic pollution, and sea spray aerosols
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how rising air bubbles in water collect microplastics and bacteria on their surfaces and transport them to the liquid surface, and how bubble bursting then launches these particles into the air as sea spray — with implications for both aquatic contamination and airborne microplastic exposure.
