“…Regarding the color of the plastics found, a predominance of blue fiber is consistent with previous data from the region and world trends [4,13,25,[52][53][54][55]. This prevalence of blue colored fibers could be associated with the resistance of this colour to UV radiation degradation [56].…”

“…Both fibers and fragments were present in all sites and thus in both types of systems, although to a greater extent in the streams from the Urban group, supporting the hypothesis about the greater contribution and consumption by the communities of these streams. The high percentage of fibers with respect to fragments or other types of plastic debris is consistent with the bibliography, as fibers have been documented as the most common and even the only form found in some cases [4,13]. Although fibers are considered less harmful relative to fragments in terms of their consequences to the digestive system (lacking sharp edges or thickness that could lead to blockages), they would be more likely to accumulate in the digestive system [18].…”
