| Title of dataset | Microlitter particles in water surface sampled with ferrybox in Danish waters autumn 2020 |
| Narrative summary of dataset | Microlitter was sampled with a module fitted on a Ferry Box system on the commercial ferry cruises (M/S Color Line Fantasy) between Oslo and Kiel. The system acquired samples in the Danish part of the Skagerrak and Kattegat. In total seven samples were collected from 23-10-2020 to 02-11-2020 using filters of mesh sizes of 300 and 500 µm. Particles were visually identified and analysed for chemical composition using FTIR. Particle concentrations ranged from 0.39 to 1.85 particles per m3 (average 0.91 per m3). |
