Data: FTIR spectra for particles in subsampled water samples from Southampton Water and analysed for microplastic content'
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a dataset of FTIR spectra from microplastic particles found in Southampton Water samples, supporting a PhD thesis chapter on microplastic distribution in estuaries. It contains no standalone research findings.
FTIR spectra for particles identified in subsampled water samples taken in Southampton Water and analysed for microplastic content. Data used in Chapter 3, Seasonal Variation of Microplastics in Southampton Water; from Stead (2021), Fate and Transport of Microplastics within Estuaries (PhD thesis).

Floating microplastics in northern coastal waters of sri lanka: Quantification and characterization by FTIR
AI summary Read the abstract
Floating microplastics were detected in northern Sri Lanka's coastal waters for the first time, with FTIR spectroscopy identifying polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymer types. The study fills an important data gap for South Asian coastal waters and highlights inputs from local fishing, tourism, and domestic waste. Establishing baseline contamination data is a critical first step toward effective plastic pollution management in the region.
