Microplastic contamination in the Pletera beach
Summary
Researchers collected data on microplastic distribution — including microfragments and microfibers — across multiple stations along the Pletera beach in Spain. The dataset documents microplastic concentrations in sediment (items per kg) from two survey periods, providing a baseline for ongoing coastal pollution monitoring.
Data on the microplastic distribution (microfragments and microfibers) in the different stations sampled along the Pletera beach File description: 1- MP Concentration Columns A-G: Data of microplastic contamination obtained in survey 1 in la Pletera Beach. This survey was conducted on the 3rd of November of 2023. Column A: Sampling stations for survey 1 Columns B-E: number of Microplastics (fib as fibres and frag as fragments) in items of microplastics per Kg of sediment. Columns F and G: Standard deviation of the number of Microplastics in columns B-E. Columns J-O: Data of microplastic contamination obtained in survey 1 in la Pletera Beach. This survey was conducted on the 3rd of June of 2025. Column J: Sampling stations for survey 2 Columns L-M: number of Microplastics (fib as fibres and frag as fragments) in items of microplastics per Kg of sediment. Columns N-O: Standard deviation of the number of Microplastics in columns B-E. 2- Sampling points localization This dataset describes the map of Pletera Beach with the sampling stations, including their geographic coordinates: latitude (column B) and longitude (column C). 3- Sediment granulometry Column A: Sampling station for survey 1 (3rd of November of 2023). Column B-C: Median of the particle size distribution of sediment samples (in micrometres) for survey 1 (3rd of November of 2023). Column G: Sampling station for survey 2 (3rd of June of 2025). Column I: Median of the particle size distribution of sediment samples (in micrometres) for survey 2 (3rd of June of 2025).
