Resumo
A poluição por plásticos emergiu como uma das questões ambientais mais abrangentes e urgentes de nosso tempo, impactando ecossistemas, vida selvagem e até mesmo a saúde humana em escala global. A pesquisa sobre microplásticos tem se concentrado principalmente nos oceanos, seja na água, em sedimentos ou em organismos, gerando uma lacuna significativa na compreensão de sua presença e impacto em outros ambientes, como os rios. Esta é uma preocupação mundial, especialmente importante para nós na América Latina e no Caribe. Para abordar essa lacuna, examinamos a pesquisa atual sobre microplásticos em rios sul-americanos, realizando uma busca no Google Scholar com palavras-chave e operadores booleanos, o que nos permitiu recuperar uma série de artigos relacionados ao tema. Revisamos 50 artigos publicados em 2023 para conhecer os métodos de coleta e análise de amostras fluviais. Nossos achados revelaram informações limitadas sobre microplásticos na América do Sul, com dados apenas da Argentina, Brasil, Colômbia, Equador, Paraguai e Peru. Além disso, encontramos variações consideráveis nos métodos de coleta e análise, dificultando a comparação entre os estudos. Preencher essa lacuna de conhecimento é crucial para compreender a extensão da poluição por plásticos na região. Como os rios são grandes contribuintes de microplásticos para os oceanos, esta pesquisa ajudará significativamente nos esforços de proteção ambiental, ressaltando a relevância global de abordar a poluição plástica fluvial.
