Plastic debris is of particular concern due to its abundance, and its persistence in the environment. In Argentina, the impact of plastic debris has been documented with a significant increase during the last years. However, evidence of debris ingestion remains low compared to other regions of the world. Between 2020 and 2022, one of the twenty-three individuals analyzed in this study (seven species: five birds and two marine mammals) had ingested plastic debris. A single macroplastic piece was found in the Great Grebe (Podiceps major). It was a hardy yellow elastic band that appears to be a packaging band in agreement with the debris category with the greatest number of reports. This study is a contribution to the few records of plastic ingestion in birds, on the east coast of South America.
由于其数量众多且在环境中持久存在，塑料碎片尤其令人关注。在阿根廷，已经记录到塑料碎片的影响在过去几年中显著增加。然而，与世界其他地区相比，摄入塑料碎片的证据仍然很少。在 2020 年至 2022 年期间，在这项研究中分析的二十三名个体中有一名（七种：五种鸟类和两种海洋哺乳动物）摄入了塑料碎片。在大䴙䴘（Podiceps major）体内发现了一块单一的大块塑料。这是一个坚韧的黄色橡皮筋，似乎是与报告数量最多的碎片类别一致的包装带。这项研究是对南美洲东海岸鸟类摄入塑料的少量记录的贡献。
