SUMMARY:

In this work, the analysis of the conditions of the physical-chemical parameters of the waters of the Maceió River, Pitimbu/PB, an important watercourse that crosses the city and its main points, will be carried out, as well as the presence of microplastics will be analyzed, with their due characterization, in the sands of the beach of the municipality, adjacent to the mentioned river. The indices of color, turbidity, oxygen demand (BOD), pH, conductivity, among others, will be analyzed. The municipality lacks basic sanitation services, in addition to disposing of its solid waste in an old dump, its waters are constantly polluted by the local population, which discards all kinds of material in the watercourse, from organic materials to appliances and furniture. The strong population and urban growth, linked to the increase in seasonal tourism, especially in the summer months, registered in the region, call attention to the need to characterize and treat this body of water and to control pollution by micropollutants on the city's beaches.
