Raw data - Quantification and classification of microplastics in Mexican beaches
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset provides raw data from a study quantifying and classifying microplastics at 35 Mexican beaches across the five marine regions of the country. The data includes particle shape, type, color, and cross-contamination analysis across coastal sites.
This file contains the raw data of the sampling of microplastics in Mexicana sand beaches. Microplastics were quantified and classified by shape, type and colour. A total of 35 beaches, from the five marine regions of the country, were included in the research. The dataset also includes the analysis of cross-contamination.

Characterization of Microplastics in Marine Sediments from the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexican Pacific
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized microplastics in marine sediments from the Gulf of Tehuantepec along the Mexican Pacific coast, categorizing particles by size, shape, color, and polymer type. They found widespread microplastic contamination in beach sediments near the Tehuantepec River mouth. The study provides baseline pollution data for this understudied region and raises concerns about potential impacts on benthic organisms and the broader marine food web.
