Dataset for: "LIBS for Direct Analysis of Pristine and Environmentally Aged Microplastics: A PCA-Based Approach"
Summary
This dataset supports a study using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to directly analyse pristine and environmentally aged polystyrene, PVC, and polyethylene microplastics — including samples with and without heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Cr) contamination from biotic and abiotic aging — alongside UV-VIS and SEM characterisation data for a principal component analysis-based identification approach.
The dataset includes three types of plastics (PS, PVC, and PE), both pristine and biotically or abiotically aged, with and without contamination by heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Cr). It contains LIBS, UV-VIS, and SEM data related to the article “LIBS for Direct Analysis of Pristine and Environmentally Aged Microplastics: A PCA-Based Approach.”

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for direct analysis of pristine and environmentally aged microplastics: A PCA-based approach
Researchers combined a rapid laser analysis technique (LIBS) with statistical pattern recognition to distinguish between fresh and environmentally aged microplastics made of polystyrene, polyethylene, and PVC. They found that aging — especially biological aging with microbe growth — left distinct chemical fingerprints on particle surfaces, offering a faster way to monitor how microplastics change as they degrade in the environment.
Raman Spectroscopy, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) And Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Combined For Identification Of Polystyrene Microplastics In Plastic Bottled Drinking Water
Researchers combined Raman spectroscopy, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and principal component analysis (PCA) to detect and identify polystyrene microplastics in commercially bottled drinking water. Spectral results were validated against standard polystyrene samples, demonstrating the potential of multi-technique spectroscopic analysis for routine microplastic identification in consumer water products.
A Novel LIBS-Machine Learning Strategy for Multimetal Detection in Microsized PMMA Particles: Efficient Quantification for Composite Pollution
Researchers combined laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy with machine learning to simultaneously quantify three heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Cu) adsorbed to 2 µm PMMA microplastic particles, demonstrating that plastic-metal composite pollution can be characterized by optimized PLS calibration models without chemical separation.
Characterization and source analysis of heavy metals contamination in microplastics by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Researchers used Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to characterize and identify the sources of heavy metals contaminating microplastics collected from a remote coral island. LIBS proved an effective rapid analytical technique for trace metal determination in microplastics, avoiding the complex sample pretreatments required by conventional methods.
