Dataset of paper "Evaluation Of Microplastics Release From Solar Water Disinfection Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) And Polypropylene Containers":

• Effect of the underlying glass fiber (GF) filter on the baseline of an HDPE MP microreflectance spectrum.
• Comparison between the spectrum of a particle collected from the treated water and the spectrum of pristine high-density polyethylene polymer.
• Number of total microplastics (high-density polyethylene and polypropylene) found in PET bottles.
• Number of total microplastics (high-density polyethylene and polypropylene) found in TJC containers.
• Comparison between the spectrum of PP particles recovered after 10 weeks of exposure time.
• Number of microplastics identified as polypropylene and weathered polypropylene in the samples corresponding to the translucent jerrycans containers.
• Number of microplastics identified as polypropylene and weathered polypropylene in the samples corresponding to the transparent jerrycans containers.
• Number of polypropylene microplastics found in the translucent and transparent jerrycans containers.
• Number of microplastics found in PET bottles and TJC containers.
• Size of the microplastics found in the study. 
• Abundance of each target polymer found in the study based on the measured minor particle dimension.
