Data underlying the publication: Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for plastic pollution along the Odaw river

This database is the supplementary material for the scientific paper in preparation: Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for plastic pollution along the Odaw river. This database comprises of a one year field monitoring data (December 2021-December 2022) focusing on macroplastic transport and density in the Odaw catchment, Accra, Ghana. Data was collected across three environmental compartments (river, riverbank, and land) at 10 spatial points along the catchment. Anthropogenic variables such as population density and mismanaged plastic waste, as well as hydro meteorological variables including rainfall, wind speed, and discharge, were also quantified for analysis.<br>

本数据集为待撰写学术论文《奥多河沿岸塑料污染的预测因子：未妥善管理的塑料废弃物》的补充材料。本数据集涵盖2021年12月至2022年12月为期一年的野外监测数据，聚焦加纳阿克拉奥多河流域内的大型塑料（macroplastic）输运与分布密度。数据在该流域沿线的10个空间点位，于河流、河岸、陆地三类环境介质（environmental compartments）中采集完成。此外，研究还量化了人口密度、未妥善管理的塑料废弃物等人为变量，以及降雨量、风速、径流量等水文气象变量，用于后续分析工作。
