Summary

Researchers developed and validated substrate-specific calibration curves for pyrolysis-GC/MS quantification of HDPE, PET, PP, PS, and PVC microplastics in organic-rich samples, demonstrating that matrix composition significantly affects analytical accuracy when using standard inorganic calibration matrices.

These dataset presents the results of the work entitled "Microplastic quantification in organic-rich samples: the relevance of testing substrate-specific calibration curves". Calibration curves for polymers HDPE, PET, PP, PS, and PVC were prepared within two solid inorganic matrices (silicon dioxide and glass fiber powders) and one solid organic-rich matrix (commercial peat-based substrate) for the quantification of these polymers within environmental samples. The dataset presents the values of the integrated peak areas for each selected pyrolytic marker for the selective quantification of microplastics. The integrated areas of the pyrolytic markers for the samples subjected to Fenton oxidation and for the spiked cultivation substrates are also presented.
