This presentation will cover, in the first part, different as- pects of Micro-Plastics (MPs) and Macro-Plastic litter pollution in coastal waters, waste waters, rivers, sedi- ments and lakes. Case stud- ies of MPs pollution in sev- eral coastal environments, sediments and catchments of China, Saudi Arabia, India, Mexico, Europe and Australia will be reported.
