Abstract

The contamination by macrolitter (>25 mm), mesolitter (5-25 mm), large microlitter (2-5 mm), large and small microplastics (L-MPs (2-5 mm) and S-MPs (0.5-2 mm), accordingly) in the surface beach sand at 6 locations along the 100-km-long marine coast of the Curonian Spit UNESCO National Park and the neighboring city beaches is quantified. In total, 55 samples obtained during 1-2 May 2018 are analyzed. Primary data is provided, along with exhaustive information on sampling dates and coordinates, sampling methods, extracting procedures, control measures, detection techniques, and μ-Raman spectroscopy verification.
