Microplastics in the digestive tracts of 7 whale species

Microplastics have the potential to affect the physiology and population health of large marine organisms. This study investigated the microplastic pollution characteristics in different digestive tract parts of 12 individuals from 7 whale species (including freshwater, nearshore, and nearshore species), and based on the pollution characteristics, scientific conclusions were drawn and policy recommendations were provided. The dataset contains microplastic pollution levels and characteristic data of different individuals. In addition, the comparison results between traditional methods and the method used in this study were also included, ensuring the stability of this study through more reliable methods.
