This dataset contains 3 csv files. One file contains data on microplastic
abundance expressed in number of particles per 5g dried sediment from 6
riverine, transitional and coastal locations on Guadalcanal Island (Solomon
Islands) in 2017. One file contains spectrum analysis of particles carried out
with a ATR-FTIR. A READ-ME text file contains description of columns content
for these two csv files. One .zip file includes a csv file with the
description of the plastic particles larger than 5mm (macroplastic) and
pictures. Microplastics are plastic particles with size less than 5 mm in
diameter (Arthur et al., 2008).
