Supporting Data for "Equivalent-Volume Controls Reveal Fibre-Driven Enhancement of Regional Atmospheric Microplastic Deposition" (Data S1-S16)

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset contains 16 files of processed information supporting a computer model study about how microplastic fibers move through and settle in the atmosphere. The files include model results, shape comparisons, and sensitivity tests used to evaluate how different particle types and atmospheric conditions affect where microplastics deposit on the ground.

Data on the gravitational settling experiment and FLEXPART simulations output

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a dataset accompanying a research paper on long-range atmospheric transport of microplastic fibers, providing gravitational settling measurements and FLEXPART dispersion model simulation outputs. The data shows that fiber-shaped microplastics travel differently through the atmosphere than spherical particles, which matters for understanding how microplastics spread globally.

Data on the gravitational settling experiment and FLEXPART simulations output

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a dataset accompanying a research paper on long-range atmospheric transport of microplastic fibers, providing gravitational settling measurements and FLEXPART dispersion model simulation outputs. The companion paper demonstrates that the shape of microplastic particles significantly influences how far they can be carried in the atmosphere.

Turbulence-informed kinetic theory of inertial-range fibre fragmentation

AI summary Read the abstract

Scientists developed a new model to predict how tiny plastic fibers (like those from synthetic clothing) break apart in ocean water due to turbulent currents and waves. The model successfully explains why environmental studies consistently find certain sizes of plastic microfibers in the ocean. This research helps us better understand how plastic pollution spreads in marine environments, which is important since these microfibers can enter the food chain and potentially affect human health.
