attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String DNitzberg, Erik J., Swaraj Parmar, Georgia Arbuckle-Keil, Grace K. Saba, Robert J. Chant, and N. L. Fahrenfeld. \"Microplastic concentration, characterization, and size distribution in the Delaware Bay estuary.\" Chemosphere (2024): 142523.  Data include polymer counts by individual polymer type, particle concentrations, and other field observations.  As described in Nitzberg et al, particles retained on 500um sieves post-wet peroxide oxidation and density separation with saturated sodium chloride were analyzed via Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) with Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) or tranmittance.  Manufactured polymers >5000um were classified as macroplastics.  See https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142523 for details.
