Microplastics in greywater from households, a residential building, and an urban city district
https://doi.org/10.5878/f54b-m977
The dataset include the occurrence and mass concentrations of microplastics (MPs) in greywater generated from single households, a residential building, and an urban city district. In addition, the retention capacity will be evaluated for the filter materials used in the treatment systems – package plants (for single households), a hybrid treatment wetland (for the residential building), and two green walls (at pilot scale in the urban city district). Finally, the present the MP mass concentrations in the effluents.

2. Microplastics_greywater: The influent and effluent mass concentrations of microplastics, volume sampled and filtered including the supplementary parameters.
