Microplastics in Santos São Vicente estuarine – Hotspot in sediments caused by low energy hydrodynamic events in strongly populated areas
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in the Santos estuary in Brazil and found the highest concentrations ever recorded along the Latin American coast, reaching up to 93,050 particles per kilogram of sediment. The extreme accumulation was linked to low-energy water flow zones in heavily populated areas that trap particles in mangrove sediments. The study identified a range of polymers, pigments, and even herbicides associated with the microplastics, highlighting the severity of pollution in urbanized estuarine environments.
