Summary

This study developed and applied scanning transmission X-ray microscopy to identify and characterise nanoplastics in environmental samples. Researchers found the technique can distinguish nanoplastic particles from other organic materials and provides chemical detail not available from optical methods alone.

This upload contains 2 different files: Identification and characterisation of nanoplastics by scanning transmission X-ray spectro-microscopy (STXM) - Spectral data This data set contains the raw optical densities at each photon energies between 280 and 320 eV of the spectra shown in the following publication: Identification and characterisation of nanoplastics by scanning transmission X-ray spectro-microscopy (STXM) The first column "eV" represents the photon energies [eV] and the spectra are given in the same order of appearance then in the publication. Spectra are identified by figure's number and polymer type in the excel file headers. 2. Identification and characterisation of nanoplastics by scanning transmission X-ray spectro-microscopy (STXM) - figures data The second data set contains the data used for the plots displayed in the main text of the same publication. The raw data and the references published by Dhez et al., 2003 were normalized to fit the same scale. Data are separated in sheets which correspond to figures or figures sub-sections.
