\nAbstract: Abstract
\nDuring two surveys in 2015 and 2016, sediments samples were collected
\nalong the Ombrone river (Maremma Regional Park, province of Grosseto,
\nItaly), in particular at its mouth and in the marine area in front of
\nit, in order to quantify, identify and categorize plastic items (macro,
\nmeso and micro-plastics and colour, material etc.) and evaluate their
\npotential sources. The Albegna and Osa rivers were identified as
\nexternal areas of comparison. The results of the analysis showed
\ndifferent situations, especially as regards fluvial inputs, in addition
\nto evidencing local provisions of plastic material derived from
\nagricultural activities. The microplastics values per kg of sediment and
\nthe prevailing type of items found largely varied between the
\ninvestigated sites (45\u20131069 items\/kg dry sample).
