AB  - The dataset (MPsTPE v1.0) systematically characterizes microplastics across diverse environmental matrices on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), encompassing river and lake waters (83 sites), soils (212 sites) and sediments (70 sites), atmospheric aerosols and wet deposition (1 continuous station), and glacier snowpits (6 glaciers). Microplastics were identified and quantified using state-of-the-art Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR 8700) chemical imaging system and Raman spectroscopy, providing comprehensive records on abundance, size fractions, morphology, and 16 polymer types. This dataset provides fundamental support for cryospheric environmental science, source-sink dynamics, and ecological risk assessments on the TP.
