Abstract:
The dataset contains information on limit of detection of microplastic particles extracted from a sediment core from Disko Bay, Greenland. The limit of detection was calculated based on the number of particles found in the procedural blanks during sample processing and it was calculated according to (mean+3)*SD. The dataset also provides information on the number of particles found in the air blanks of the clean laboratory where the sediments samples were processed. This datasets is complementary to https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.972635, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.972712, and https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.972713.
