Additional data for "Settling velocities of tire and road wear particles: Analyzing finely graded density fractions of samples from a road simulator and a highway tunnel"

This repository provides additional files for the publication "Settling velocities of tire and road wear particles: Analyzing finely graded density fractions of samples from a road simulator and a highway tunnel" by Stefan Dittmar, Steffen Weyrauch, Thorsten Reemtsma, Paul Eisentraut, Korinna Altmann, Aki Sebastian Ruhl and Martin Jekel (DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.5c04165).

It contains:
- single particle raw data from settling experiments (1_settling_data.zip)
- cumulative distributions of settling velocity and particle size for each investigated density fraction of both samples (2_measured_distributions.zip)
- composed cumulative distributions of settling velocity and particle size for incorporated tire material/TRWP from both samples (3_composed_distributions.zip)
- Python script to compute composed distributions (similar to 3) corrected for water properties differing from the experimental conditions (T=15 °C, salinity=0 g/kg)
(4_correct_temperature_salinity.zip)

Please consider the included readme files (0_README{...}.txt) and revisit main publication and supplement information for further context on this data set, especially when you want to implement the data (e.g. from 3_composed_distributions) or generate corrected composed distributions via the Python script 4_correct_temperature_salinity.py yourself to be used in future studies.

Please contact Stefan Dittmar (stefan.dittmar@tu-berlin.de), if you have questions in that regard.
