“…El color de los microplásticos reveló tendencias similares a los colores encontrados en otras playas mexicanas (Cruz-Salas et al, 2020;Sánchez-García, 2016) alejadas de la zona de estudio, e incluso a la de playas de otros países (Iannacone et al, 2019), mientras que la forma con mayor concentración encontrada en este estudio (fibra), se reporta en playas de todo el mundo con concentración predominante (Tiwari et al, 2019;Cruz-Salas et al, 2020;Iannacone et al, 2019). Lo anterior nos indica un posible patrón en las características de los microplásticos presentes en el entorno marino.…”

Microplastics (Mps) are a form of marine pollution; therefore, their presence must be identified in ecosystems such as beaches, environmental assets of economic value that offer different services to the population. The present work identifies and classifies microplastics in 12 urban, suburban, rural and natural beaches located in the states of Colima and Jalisco, Mexico. A total of 94 sediment samples were collected, analyzed and classified at the high tide line, identifying by flotation and visual inspection a total of 12,001 plastic particles that were classified by shape, color and size. The results reveal that the presences of microplastics on natural or rural beaches that are poorly developed or inaccessible have levels comparable to urban and suburban beaches. This shows that the movement of

The propagation of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide has been alarming in the last months. According to recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the use of face masks is essential for slowing down the transmission rate of COVID-19 in human beings. This pandemic has generated a substantial increase in the use, as well as in the production, of face masks and other elements (gloves, face protectors, protective suits, safety shoes) manufactured with polymeric materials, including antiviral textiles most of which will end as microplastic pools. Focusing on South America, the use and mismanagement of this type of personal protective equipment (PPE) represents an environmental problem. Added to this issue are the increase in the use of single-use plastic, and the reduction of plastic recycling due to the curfew generated by the pandemic, further aggravating plastic pollution on coasts and beaches. Recently, researchers have developed antiviral polymeric textile technology composed of Ag and Cu nanoparticles for PPE to reduce the contagion and spread of COVID-19. Antiviral polymeric textile wastes could also have long-term negative repercussions on aquatic environments, as they are an important emerging class of contaminants. For this reason, this work provides reflections and perspectives on how the COVID-19 pandemic can aggravate plastic pollution on beaches and coastal environments, consequently increasing the damage to marine species in the coming years. In addition, the potential impact of the pandemic on waste management systems is discussed here, as well as future research directions to improve integrated coastal management strategies.

“…On the other hand, San Pedro is located south of the Lurin river so it is less influenced by solid waste transportation. However, studies on beaches at the north of San Pedro beach have found that MP concentration is low (Iannacone et al., 2019). Plastic composition in beaches is also related to coastal use, all three beaches in our study have recreative use, beaches visited by tourists tend to exhibit large concentrations of MPs (Yu et al., 2016) and receive a large number of visitors with umbrellas and synthetic swim dresses that add a large number of fibers in the sand (Piñon‐Colin et al., 2018).…”

Plastic accumulation in coastal areas is a worldwide concern and Peruvian beaches are not exceptions. We visited three sandy beaches in Lima, Peru in spring 2019 and summer 2020, those were San Pedro, Costa Azul, and Las Conchitas. We collected sand to test microplastics (MP) occurrence and characterization. Fragments and fibers were the most common particle, FTIR spectrometry indicated evidence of polypropylene and polyethylene of low and high‐density. The abundance of MP was not the same in the three beaches; San Pedro presented the lowest abundance and Costa Azul the highest. MP occurred in both seasons, however, there was a decrease in summer, among the three beaches, the reduction in Costa Azul was not significant. MP decrease in summer is vinculated by cleaning campaigns to welcome visitors for the summer season. However, that procedure seems not relevant in Costa Azul because maintained a high pollution level. Synergy with other human activities occurs, like fisheries in San Pedro and Las Conchitas and informal dumps in Costa Azul. Our research describes the pollution of microplastics in three important and crowded beaches during summer. Our information provides a baseline about the beach condition mainly related to microplastic pollution and the effectiveness of environmental measures like cleaning campaigns.
