Particle feature composition. a Number of identified polymer types (n = 228) sorted by age of earliest possible occurrence (EPO ages) with example of a blue PP film and pink PET fragment (Polymer type abbreviations explained in Table S4); b Particle type composition (n = 228); c Particle size composition for particles in coarse soil fraction (> 2 mm) (upper boxplot, n = 35) and fine soil fraction (< 2 mm) (lower boxplot, n = 193) with first and third quartile represented by outer box border
