Abstract
This dataset contains the source data supporting the study “Persistent Influx of Atmospheric Microplastics and Nanoplastics to Mount Everest Driven by Large Scale Circulation.” It includes the underlying microplastic, nanoplastic, and meteorological datasets used in the analyses, together with source files for the main figures (Figures 1–4) and spatial/trajectory datasets associated with Figures 4, S9, and S10. These files support the reported atmospheric MNP abundance, seasonal variation, transport-pathway analysis, and regional deposition assessment for the Mount Everest and Tibetan Plateau study area.
