Fig. 1. Sampling procedure and α-diversity indexes.
a Sampling was carried out by scrapping the dust accumulating below the tank lid and around the filling point. b Alpha diversity metrics at the ASV level: observed ASVs -or richness- (left panel) and Simpson index (right panel) for all the samples grouped by type of fuel. ASV amplicon sequence variant. Centerline = median; bounds of box = Q1 and Q3; lower whisker = smallest observation greater than or equal to lower hinge—1.5 * IQR; higher whisker = largest observation less than or equal to upper hinge + 1.5 * IQR; Q quartile, IQR interquartile range.
