This dataset contains acute and chronic ecotoxicology measurements of Eisenia fetida earthworms exposed to different types and concentrations of bio-based textile-derived microfibres. Acute test (72 hours) measured earthworm mortality across a range of fibre concentrations, following OECD TG 207 standard guidelines. Chronic tests (following OECD TG 222 guidelines), using one fibre concentration were conducted over 28-days and measured mortality, growth, reproductive output (number of egg cocoons and juveniles), oxidative stress and elemental composition of earthworms. Data were collected in order to establish lethal thresholds and sub-lethal effects of different textiles microfibres (bio-based and conventional). This research is part of the BIO-PLASTIC-RISK project, funded by Natural Environment Research Council through the grants NE/V007556/1 and NE/V007246/1.

This dataset contains a range of measurements associated with the degradation of Polylactic acid (PLA)-cellulose based teabags, buried in soil. Degradation measurements were calculated following a 7-month burial period from November 2021 to June 2022. Variables measured include: mass change, mass change of PLA, crystallinity change, and pyrolysis gas chromatography-Mass spectroscopy (GCMS) data for each teabag type. This research is part of the BIO-PLASTIC-RISK project, funded by Natural Environment Research Council through the grants NE/V007556/1 and NE/V007246/1.

The greenhouse gas (GHG) emission represent the amount of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide) emissions associated with the annual production of seven livestock commodities, considering the following processes: enteric fermentation, manure deposition on grassland, manure management on farm; application of manure on feed crops and application of synthetic fertiliser on grassland and feed crops, plus other cropland emissions for feed crops (e.g. peatland drainage and methane from rice cultivation). We also provide the greenhouse gas emission intensities, which indicate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of mass of animal products produced annually. The considered livestock commodities are: bovine ('BV') meat and milk, small ruminant (sheep and goat, 'SG') meat and milk, pig (PG) meat, poultry (chicken, ducks, 'PT') meat, and poultry eggs. The resolution is 5 arc minute, across the global land area, for the period around year 2000. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emission represent the amount of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide) emissions associated with the annual production of 172 cultivated crops, considering the following processes: application of manure and synthetic fertiliser on cropland, peatland drainage, and methane from rice cultivation.

[THIS NONGEOGRAPHICDATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. The resource includes data extracted from published laboratory studies investigating the impacts of microfibres (fibres < 5 mm in size) on various traits within aquatic organisms. Data were accessible on 19/06/2024 and represent studies from 2015 to 2024. The dataset includes measured responses in a range of aquatic organisms after microfibre exposure. Measures correspond to the following defined traits: 1. Development - healthy molting and growth of organs and structures. 2. Fecundity - number of offspring and quality of gametes. 3. Feeding - intake handling and egestion of resources. 4. Growth - change in organism weight, length or derived measures. 5. Hatching - number, emergence time and morphology of offspring. 6. Health - indices and measures of general organism wellbeing. 7. Survival - organisms alive at a particular time point. This dataset was created to collate microfibre study findings for meta-analyses and to identify gaps within the literature. This work was supported by NERC (NE/Y003985/1) as part of the Future Fibres Network project.
