Mini Riset: Potensi Cemaran Mikroplastik Di Pantai Temberan, Kabupaten Bangka
Summary
Researchers sampled surface water from Temberan Beach in Bangka Regency, Indonesia, using a plankton net and analyzed samples for microplastic types and abundance. Microplastics were detected at the beach, with type and abundance characterized, contributing baseline data on MP pollution at this Indonesian coastal tourism site.
The presence of microplastics in the environment has generated global concerns. Microplastics contamination is a global environmental problem which negative effect in a habitat, include waters and can enter the food chain that contribute to human health. Occurrence of microplastics in the environment affected by intensive anthropogenic activities, one of them is tourism activity. This study aimed to determine the types and the abundance of microplastics at Temberan Beach, Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Archipelago Province. The water samples were taken using a plankton net (mesh size 100 / 150 µm) with diameter 15 cm and 1,5 L of the surface of the water was analyzed the microplatics content. The microplasctics analysis was carried out by oxidative digestion of organic matters method which are utilizing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed there were four types of microplastics and their abundance, namely fiber (54%), foam (26%), fragment (15%), and film (5%). We have observed that anthropogenic activity contributed to microplastic abundance.
