Microplastics (MP) have become a new pollutant of global concern. In the summer of 2020, the amounts of MPs were measured on three sandy beaches along the central coast of Lima, Peru: Chancay, Carpayo and Asia. The method of flotation by density was used, and large (between 1 and 5 mm) and small (< 1 mm) MPs were identified. Their type, shape, color and source were determined. The highest concentration of MPs was found on Carpayo beach, one of the most domestic wastewater-polluted beaches in Latin America. Asia beach, which is much frequented by tourists, had the lowest concentration. The identification of MPs by zone (supralittoral and infralittoral) and by sort (large and small) showed that Carpayo beach’s supralittoral zone had the hi...
