Abstract

In some regions of the world, such as Colombian Caribbean microplastic pollution remains understudied. Therefore microplastics (MP) of surface waters of two sectors influenced by te Magdalena and Sinú rivers were sampled, quantified and characterized as well as the microbe assemblage associated with these particles. Water samples collected during the 2022 dry and rainy season were wet sieved through two mesh sizes (0.3 mm and 1.4 mm) and manually extract the plastic particles. The microplastics extracted were classified by size (0.3 mm to
