Datasets of measurements of microplastics in the the Siberian Arctic seas
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a duplicate data repository entry for the same Siberian Arctic microplastic measurement datasets described under ID 67824. The datasets include particle-level characterization data and station-level abundance concentrations.
Dataset chem.xlsx contains data on parameters (weight, size, polymer type, morphology) for each microplastic particle at different stations for both surface and subsurface samples. Dataset stations.xlsx contains data on abundance and weight concentrations of microplastics at the stations for both surface and subsurface samples.

Datasets of measurements of microplastics in the the Siberian Arctic seas
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a data repository entry containing measurement datasets for microplastics collected from surface and subsurface waters in the Siberian Arctic seas. The datasets include parameters such as weight, size, polymer type, and morphology for each particle detected. This is a data release supporting a published research study.
Microplastics distribution in the Eurasian Arctic is affected by Atlantic waters and Siberian rivers
AI summary Read the abstract
Analysis of 60 water samples from the Eurasian Arctic found average microplastic concentrations of 0.004 items/m³ in surface net samples and 0.8 items/m³ in subsurface pump samples, with particle type and abundance differing significantly between Atlantic water masses and Siberian river plumes.
Microplastics in Surface Waters of the Russian Arctic Seas: Distribution, Concentration, Identification, and Eco-Risks for Fish
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics were detected across surface waters of the Russian Arctic seas, with concentrations and polymer types varying by region and season. The findings document that even high-latitude Arctic waters are not spared from microplastic contamination, likely transported by ocean currents and rivers.
Abundance of microplastic in surface sediment during POLARSTERN cruise PS93.2
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset provides the abundance of microplastics in surface sediment samples collected during the POLARSTERN cruise PS93.2 in the Arctic, supplementing Bergmann et al. (2017), which reported high quantities of microplastic in Arctic deep-sea sediments from the HAUSGARTEN Observatory. The data supports spatial analysis of microplastic contamination in Arctic deep-sea sediment environments.
Author Correction: Microplastics distribution in the Eurasian Arctic is affected by Atlantic waters and Siberian rivers
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a correction notice to a study on microplastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean, showing that ocean currents from the Atlantic and rivers from Siberia are carrying tiny plastic particles into this remote region. This matters because it shows even the world's most untouched waters aren't safe from plastic pollution, and since Arctic fish and seafood are part of the global food chain, these microplastics can eventually make their way onto our plates. Note: this correction doesn't detail the specific findings that were fixed, so it's best to check the original study for the full results.
