AB  - We report the occurrence of plastics and associated persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs) in surface waters from Northern Chilean Patagonia. A total of 200 
      particles were found during the conducted survey. The highest number of particles 
      found was 0.6 item m(-3). We found that 53 % of the collected particles 
      corresponded to plastic, with an average of 0.19 +/- 0.18 item m(-3). Microplastics 
      (68 %) were the dominant size found in the area, followed by macroplastics (18 %) 
      and mesoplastics (14 %). Most plastic particles were white (55 %) while others 
      were <10 % each. Black and light blue represented 9 %; red, dark blue, and other 
      colors 7 %; and green 6 %. Fragments were the most frequent shape of plastic 
      debris (38 %), followed by Styrofoam (30 %) and fiber (27 %). Higher PBDE levels 
      were found in the central zone, and those were higher than DDT, PeCB, HCB, and 
      PCB levels. This study is the first report on POP occurrence in marine plastic 
      debris from Chiloe Sea in the Northern Chilean Patagonia.
