Supplementary material to "Fine micro- and nanoplastics concentrations in particulate matter samples from the high alpine site Sonnblick, Austria"

This dataset contains supplementary material to "Fine micro- and nanoplastics concentrations in particulate matter samples from the high alpine site Sonnblick, Austria" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141410). It includes results of triplicate analyses of plastics in particulate matter samples as well as data to reproduce Figure 1 (concentration of plastics on weekly filters) and Figure 2 (average contribution of main plastic types to plastics mass).

Context and methodology

• Particulate matter samples of two size fractions were analysed via TD-PTR-MS and six types of plastics (PET, PE, PP/PPC, PS, PVC, Tire wear) were determined using a fingerprinting algorithm.
• The evaluation of the results is described in the corresponding paper (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141410).

Technical details

• A description of the dataset is given in the file "Readme.pdf".
• The Excel-file "Data_Plastics.xlsx" contains the data derived from the fingerprinting and the conversion to atmospheric concentrations. The data is presented in multiple data sheets, described in detail in the Readme-file.
