Abstract The microplastics (MPs), due to their high dispersion and bioaccumulation rates, have been identified in various animal groups, such as anuran amphibians during both larval adult stages. However, current studies on focus assessing only one exposure route, the digestive system, while other routes remain underestimated. Therefore, this present study aimed evaluate degree of contamination digestive, respiratory, integumentary systems, situ, two endemic Amazonian species ( Physalaemus ephippifer Boana multifasciata ). From this, we characterized microplastic particles for each assessed effects morphometric measures total MP level gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Additionally, determined different indices how they vary according systems. Based our data, showed highest levels species. variations indicated that P. had a higher contamination. Thus, provides first evidence through respiratory anurans it is identify terrestrial biomonitors Amazon.

The Amazon is the largest river by discharge volume and one of most biodiverse biomes in world. Lately, there has been a rapid increase urban population region, which translated into growing emission organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) surface water bodies. This study provides comprehensive evaluation PAH contamination levels waters basin. We investigated occurrence potential sources 16 priority PAHs characterised their risks for freshwater ecosystems. For this, we took 40 samples from different sites along Brazilian part River, including three major tributaries, smaller rivers crossing main areas. results this show that are widespread Amazon. sum total concentration reached values 134 ng L-1 163 near densely populated On other hand, was generally lower monitored tributaries. In samples, pattern dominated high molecular weight PAHs, suggesting contribution pyrogenic sources, although petrogenic also present some locations assessed ecological posed mixtures using hazard index. indicated not likely to pose direct toxic effects Amazonian organisms, however continued monitoring recommended

Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as a major potential threat to the biota and human health. Despite exponential increase in MP research worldwide, few studies focused on extensive Amazon biome. To assess priorities, present study reviewed summarized available scientific knowledge MPs Amazon, addition analyzing population waste-management data, evaluate sources of hydrographic system. Poor sanitation conditions are main source for vast basin, and, consequently, adjacent ocean. Secondary predominated, mostly fibers (96% debris), composed polyamide (32%).

However, limited research, methodological constraints, flaws lack standardization, combined continental dimensions hampers collection fundamental needed reliably impacts implement effective mitigation measures. There is an urgent need expand data region, improving local infrastructure, training deploying researchers.
