Resumo
Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a significant class of contaminants due to their widespread presence in
various environmental compartments. The ingestion of these particles poses a risk to both human health and the
local biota. The investigation of the Santos estuary reveals the abundance of microplastics in the mangrove
sediment. The highest concentration was 62,850–93,050 MPs⋅kg 1dw, never seen before in Latin America coast.
The region investigated is characterized for silting sites and low energy events, notably Rio dos Bugres, influenced
by anthropic aspects, while the S˜ao Vicente e Santos channels prevail the high energy hydrodynamic
regime. In consequence, the MPs are entrapped in the interior of the estuary, affecting drastically the biota of
mangrove. Spectroscopic investigation identified: polymers, pigments, herbicide and additives. The hypothesis is
that densely populated siltation areas combined with low-energy events serve along the estuary for MPs accumulation
and hotspots formation.
