Microplastic and macroplastic yearly emission maps for Switzerland

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) 2020
Delphine Kawecki-Wenger

Summary

This dataset provides spatially resolved annual microplastic and macroplastic emission maps for Switzerland, linked to a published proxy-based approach for predicting plastic emissions to the environment from different source categories.

Polymers
HDPE LDPE PET PP PS PVC

Dataset connected to the following publication: Title: A proxy-based approach to predict spatially resolved emissions of macro- and microplastic to the environment Authors: Delphine Kawecki; Bernd Nowack Journal: Science of the Total Environment Year: 2020 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141137 Contents: - Raster maps of emissions to soil and air - Shapefiles of emissions to lakes and rivers Separate files are provided for: - the seven different polymers included in the study: LDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, EPS, PVC, PET - the two sizes of plastic modelled: macroplastic and microplastic (files for microplastic contain the string "MP") - the maps created using the mean, the 5th percentile and the 95th percentile of the original emission flows - the receiving environmental compartment: soil, air, rivers and lakes For a detailed description of the method, see the publication.
