AB  - Pollution by synthetic polymers is even more problematic to the environment when 
      this material is fragmented into small portions, forming microplastics (MPs). We 
      analyzed the contamination of ichthyofauna by MPs in an important river of the 
      Atlantic Rainforest in regard to abundance, diversity of morphotypes, polymers, 
      colors, and sizes of the synthetic particles in 20 species of fish. Fish were 
      collected in November 2019 and in March 2020 in five sites along the Pomba River. 
      Of the 101 fish analyzed, 49 (49%) presented MPs in at least one organ. Of the 20 
      species of fish collected 13 included individuals with at least one MP in their 
      analyzed organs. The organs, trophic categories and feeding areas did not affect 
      the general abundance of MPs types. Blue MPs were predominant, followed by the 
      colors black, red, and white. MP fibers represented 91% of total MPs. Most MPs 
      were between 2 and 3 mm in size. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene 
      (PP), polyamide (PA), polyvinylidene chloride "Nylon" (PVDC), and high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) were detected in the fishes. The exposure of the fish species 
      to MPs was associated mainly with individual size and species-specific aspects, 
      regardless of ecological traits. Considering that 55% of the fish species studied 
      are consumed by humans, it is necessary to study the potential impact of MP 
      ingestion on human health and to understand to what extent we may be consuming 
      both plastic particles and contaminants that are adsorbed to MPs.
