Kelimpahan Mikroplastik di Perairan Pulau Temajo Mempawah Kalimantan Barat
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study measured microplastic abundance in the waters around Temajo Island in West Kalimantan, finding widespread contamination from fibers, fragments, and films. The results contribute to mapping microplastic pollution across Indonesian coastal ecosystems, which are under pressure from both land-based and marine plastic sources.
Sampah plastik laut merupakan masalah lingkungan global dan kompleks yang berdampak pada ekosistem dan kehidupan manusia. Plastik bersifat persisten dan membutuhkan waktu lama untuk terdekomposisi. Keberadaan mikroplastik dapat terakumulasi di dalam tubuh biota melaui rantai makanan. Mikroplastik ini juga menjadi masalah bagi kawasan pesisir Kalimantan Barat, khususnya di perairan pulau Temajo. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengidentifikasi jenis dan kelimpahan serta jenis polimer dari mikroplastik di perairan Pulau Temajo, Kalimantan Barat. Sampel air diambil dengan menggunakan plankton net di dua stasiun. Identifikasi jenis mikroplastik dilakukan dengan menggunakan mikroskop, dan identifikasi jenis polimer mikroplastik dilakukan dengan menggunakan spektrofotometri FTIR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa stasiun I memiliki kelimpahan total mikroplastik lebih tinggi (6823,30 partikel/L) dibandingkan dengan stasiun II (4766,38 partikel/L), dengan persentase film (66,53%), fragmen (7,28%), fiber (25,36%), dan pelet (0,83%). Jenis polimer yang teridentifikasi adalah High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) dan Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA)
