FTIR Analysis: Indicative Spectral Data for Microplastics in Wastewater Sludge

Indicative spectral data from FTIR analysis of microplastics found in wastewater sludges. The dataset is 19.4 MB in size and was authored by Nimitha Choran. It was last updated on 2026-05-05 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Identify polymer types of microplastics based on FTIR spectral signatures.
• Compare microplastic contamination levels across different wastewater sludge samples.
• Train machine learning models for automated spectral classification of environmental microplastics.

Strengths

• Dataset is 19.4 MB, indicating a specific, focused collection of spectral data.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
