“…Although lower concentrations, other studies reported 0.35 MP g -1 in market Mytilus edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) from Belgium (De Witte et al, 2014), 0.34 ± 0.31 MP g -1 in Venerupis philippinarum (Adams and Reeve, 1850) from South Korea (Cho et al, 2019), 0.16 ± 0.18 MP g -1 and 0.13 ± 0.16 MP g -1 in V. philippinarum and C. gigas, respectively, from Canada (Covernton et al, 2019). A more recent study carried out in Peru, however, reported a concentration of 1.64 ± 0.08 MP g -1 in A. atra from different fisheries in Lima (Valencia-Velasco et al, 2020). In our previous study, we determined a mean microplastic concentration of 0.13 ± 0.03 MP g -1 in Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819), purchased from fisheries in Lima (De-la-Torre et al, 2019).…”

Seafood contamination with microplastics is one major route for human intake. Shellfish are among the most important since most shellfish species are eaten fresh and entirely. The aim of the present study was to report the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercial bivalve Aulacomya atra sold in fisheries from three Peruvian provinces. Market surveys were carried out and standard microplastic extraction, observation, and analysis methods were conducted. The mean microplastic abundance in the three provinces was 0.56 ± 0.08 MP g-1. Lima, the most populated province in Peru, presented the highest concentration (1.04 ± 0.17 MP g-1). The majority of the microplastics were fiber/lines (58.8 %) and blue (40.5 %). The polymer identity of most fiber/lines was polyester, suggesting microfibers that shed from clothes during laundry may be one major source of contamination. Other identified polymers were polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS). The annual dietary microplastic intake by the Peruvian population was estimated to be ~48.18 MP person-1 year-1 via A. atra consumption only, although values could vary depending on the region. The need for a better supply chain, handling conditions, and further research are discussed.

“…En el contexto del biomonitoreo de la contaminación por metales pesados en ecosistemas acuáticos, la presencia de organismos como los peces no solo sirve como indicadores de contaminación, sino que también actúan como representantes de la belleza natural del entorno acuático. Por lo tanto, la conservación de la salud ecológica, que implica la preservación de la biodiversidad y el equilibrio ecológico, también garantiza la preservación de la belleza estética del ecosistema (Lamine et al, 2024;Alvariño et al, 2024).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue describir el valor estético desde una perspectiva filosófica en el biomonitoreo ambiental de la contaminación por metales pesados en ecosistemas acuáticos. El estudio se realizó entre marzo y agosto de 2023, se centró en la valoración estética desde una perspectiva filosófica en el biomonitoreo ambiental de la contaminación por metales pesados en ecosistemas acuáticos. Se consideró como dimensiones principales la apreciación estética, perturbación estética e integración estética con sus respectivos indicadores. Se mencionó que, la apreciación estética en el biomonitoreo de contaminación por metales pesados en los ecosistemas acuáticos destaca la importancia de considerar la belleza visual y su relación con la salud del entorno. Desde una perspectiva filosófica, esta valoración estética refleja la armonía y la vitalidad del ecosistema. La perturbación estética señala alteraciones en esta armonía, indicando pérdidas de valor significativas. Integrar la estética en programas de monitoreo no solo protege la belleza del entorno, sino que también refleja una responsabilidad ética hacia la naturaleza. Se destaca que, El valor estético en el biomonitoreo ambiental de la contaminación por metales pesados en ecosistemas acuáticos destaca la relación entre la belleza visual y la salud del ecosistema. Refleja aspectos más profundos de armonía, integridad y vitalidad, no solo percepción subjetiva sino también indicadores objetivos de salud ambiental. Reconocer y preservar este valor estético guía la acción ética y promueve esfuerzos de conservación. Se concluye que, la estética en el biomonitoreo ambiental de metales pesados resalta la conexión entre belleza y salud ambiental, fomentando conservación ética.

“…In South America, some research on microplastics have been developed during the last few years (Kutralam-Muniasamy et al 2020), where the main scope was ecological, covering identification, spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the sources of the microplastics and consequences of their presence (Ivar do Sul and Costa 2007, Rezania et al 2018, Kutralam-Muniasamy et al 2020. In Peru, few investigations have been carried out, especially in beach environments, and most of them are related to ingestion by animals and freshwater environments (Purca and Henostroza 2017, Iannacone et al 2019, de la Torre et al 2020, Perez-Venegas et al 2020, Valencia-Velasco et al 2020, de la Torre et al 2021.…”

Plastic pollution in marine and coastal environments has been widely recognized as a growing environmental concern. Plastic particles generated mainly by the degradation of larger plastic debris have been called microplastics (< 5 mm), which are being widely studied in all regions of the world. In South America there has been a constant increase of the research on this topic mainly on the Pacific coast. Specifically, in Peru, the number of publications has also increased, but the northern and southern zones are not well studied. Due to the importance of determining the presence of these contaminants, especially in coastal regions, which are considered as repository environments for these plastics, it is necessary to establish baselines of their current situation. This research aimed to determine and characterize the presence of microplastic particles (< 5 mm) on five sandy beaches in the province of Islay in southern Peru and to consider the possible effect of the Tambo River mouth on the transport and deposition of microplastics on two adjacent beaches. Three sampling stations were determined for each selected beach, consisting of three to two quadrants (1 m2) sampled at 5 cm depth. The results confirm the presence of microplastics. A total of 304 particles were found, with an average density between 1 to 4 part/m2. The areas with the highest concentration of microplastic particles and frequency of occurrence were the beaches adjacent to the river estuary where the most frequent types of particles were fragments and fibers, followed by foams and films, but no pellets.
