Meso- and microplastic distribution and heavy metal contaminations in floodplains of the Nidda River (Germany)
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset contains raw data from a study of meso- and microplastic distribution and heavy metal contamination in floodplain soils of the Nidda River, Germany. It includes particle characteristics from FTIR analysis, soil chemical and physical properties, pollution indices, and GPS sampling locations.
The datasets stored here contain the raw data for the publication about macro- and microplastic within the Nidda River floodplain soilscape by Weber et al. (2022). These are data sets on meso- and microplastic particles, as well as analytical data from floodplain soil samples and a .kml file with sampling points positions. Dataset 1: Plastic particle data and characteristics from plastic particles extracted via NaCl-separation, fluorescence staining and ATR-FTIR analysis. Dataset 2: Sampling site features, plastic concentrations, elemental concentrations, pollution indices and soil characteristics (texture, organic matter, pH) Each data set contains a sheet with data and an explanation sheet. KML File: Location of sampling points.

Meso- and microplastic distribution and spatial connections to heavy metal contaminations in highly cultivated and urbanised floodplain soilscapes – a case study from the Nidda River (Germany)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used a geospatial sampling approach along the Nidda River in Germany to map the distribution of meso- and microplastics and heavy metals in floodplain soils, combining ICP-MS elemental analysis with fluorescence identification and ATR-FTIR polymer characterization. They found that plastics accumulated in uppermost soil layers while heavy metals were enriched at greater depths, indicating distinct sources and deposition histories, with plastic enrichment ranging from 0 to 35.82 particles per kilogram.

Meso- and microplastic distribution and spatial connections to metal contaminations in highly cultivated and urbanised floodplain soilscapes – a case study from the Nidda River (Germany)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers mapped meso- and microplastic distribution in floodplain soils along the Nidda River in Germany and found spatial correlations with trace metal contamination. Results suggest that both plastics and metals accumulate together in sediment sinks, with urbanization and proximity to industrial sites driving contamination hotspots.
