Literature Review: Dampak Mikroplastik Terhadap Lingkungan Pesisir, Biota Laut dan Potensi Risiko Kesehatan
AI summary Read the abstract
This literature review examines the impacts of microplastic pollution on coastal environments, marine life, and potential human health risks. Researchers compiled evidence showing that microplastics accumulate throughout marine food chains and can carry harmful chemicals and pathogens. The study highlights concerns about metabolism disruption, neurotoxicity, and increased health risks associated with microplastic exposure, underscoring the need for more research and policy action.
Latar Belakang: Sampah plastik masih menjadi masalah berat di dunia. Sampah plastik adalah akumulasi benda-benda plastik (misalnya, botol plastik dan banyak lagi) di lingkungan bumi yang berdampak negatif terhadap kehidupan makhluk hidup. Sebagian besar degradasi menghasilkan serat dan mikroplastik berserabut. Mikroplasstik berpotensi menyebabkan gangguan metabolism, neurotoksisitas dan peningkatan risiko kanker pada manusia. Selain itu mikroplastik dapat menimbulakn potensi risiko kesehatn seperti : gangguan kekebalan, neurotoksisitas, gangguan reproduksi serta karsinogenik. Kajian literatur yang akan dilakukan mengenai dampak mikroplastik terhadap lingkungan pesisir, biota serta potensi risiko kesehatan yang disebabkan oleh paparan mikroplastik.Metode: Penelitia ini merupakan sebuah literature Review. Database yang digunakan dalam pencarian artikel ini menggunakan Google Scholar dan ScienceDirect dengan kata kunci "microplastic, plastic waste effect, coastal microplastic, microplastic marine fish, microplastic and health effect", yang telah dilakukan oleh peneliti-peneliti sebelumnya baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri. Artikel yang didapatkan diseleksi sesuai topik mengenai pencemaran mikropalstik di wilayah pesisir, yang bisa di download, dan artikel yang terbit mulai 2018-2022. Artikel yang direview sebanyak 13 artikel yang relevan dan sesuai topik .Hasil: Hasil review menemukan bahwa yang paling banyak terkontaminasi mikroplastik adalah biota laut sebanyak 8 Artikel yang ditemukan, bentuk mikroplastik yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah fiber dan fragment sebanyak 8 artikel yang ditemukan dan polimer mikroplastik yang ditemukan paling banyak polypropylene sebanyak 7 artikel. Jenis polimer mikropalstik yang terdeteksi berpotensi menyebabkan permasalahan kesehatan seperti gangguan metabolism, gangguan saluran pencernaan, gangguan fungsi hati, gangguan fungsi ginjal, kanker, gangguan resporoduksi dan mudah lupa.Simpulan: berdasarkan literature review yang dilakukan dapat disumpulakn bahwa mikropalstik sudah banyak mencemari lingkungan pesisir, sediment, air laur, dan biota laut yang berpotensi mengkontaminasi manusia dan berpotensi menyebabkan potensi risiko kesehatan seperti gangguan metabolisme, gangguan saluran pencernaan, gangguan fungsi hati, gangguan fungsi ginjal, kanker, gangguan resporoduksi dan mudah lupa. ABSTRACT Literature Review: The Impact of Microplastics on Coastal Environments, Marine Life and Potential Health RisksBackground: Plastic waste is still a serious problem in the world. Plastic waste is the accumulation of plastic objects (for example, plastic bottles and more) in the earth's environment that negatively affect living things’ lives. Most degradation results in filamentous fibers and microplastics. Microplasstics can potentially cause metabolic disorders, neurotoxicity and an increased risk of cancer in humans. In addition, microplastics can pose potential health risks such as: immune disorders, neurotoxicity, reproductive disorders and carcinogenic. A literature review will be conducted on the impact of microplastics on coastal environments, biota and potential health risks caused by exposure to microplastics. Method: This research is a literature review. The database used in searching this article uses Google Scholar and ScienceDirect with the keywords "microplastic, plastic waste effect, coastal microplastic, microplastic marine fish, microplastic and health effect", which has been done by previous researchers both from within and outside the country. The articles obtained are selected according to topics regarding microplastic pollution in coastal areas, which can be downloaded, and articles published from 2018-2022. The articles reviewed were 13 articles that were relevant and on-topicResults: The results of the review found that the most contaminated with microplastics were marine life as many as 8 articles found, the most forms of microplastics found were fibers and fragments as many as 8 articles found and microplastic polymers found the most polypropylene as many as 7 articles. The types of microplastic polymers detected have the potential to cause health problems such as metabolic disorders, digestive tract disorders, liver function disorders, kidney function disorders, cancer, resporoduction disorders and forgetfulness.Conclusion: Based on the literature review conducted, it can be concluded that microplastics have polluted many coastal environments, sediments, water, and marine life that have the potential to contaminate humans and potentially cause potential health risks such as metabolic disorders, digestive tract disorders, liver function disorders, kidney function disorders, cancer, reproductive disorders and forgetfulness.

Effects of marine microplastic on marine life and the food webs – A detailed review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review provides a comprehensive look at microplastic pollution in marine environments, covering sources, impacts on marine life, and risks to human health through the seafood supply chain. Microplastics cause physical harm like gut blockages in marine animals and can carry toxic chemicals that accumulate up the food chain. The authors emphasize that with global plastic production still rising, urgent policy action and better waste management are needed to protect both ocean ecosystems and human health.
Theoretical Review on Microplastic Pollution: A Multifaceted Threat to Marine Ecosystems, Human Health, and Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review provides a broad overview of how microplastic pollution threatens marine ecosystems and human health through multiple pathways including seafood consumption, drinking water, and air inhalation. Researchers summarized evidence that microplastics cause physical harm to marine species, transport toxic chemicals through food webs, and may be linked to inflammatory and hormonal disruption in humans. The study emphasizes that addressing this problem requires coordinated policy changes, better waste management, and development of biodegradable plastic alternatives.
