Literature Review: Mikroplastik Pada Berbagai Jenis Kerang Serta Dampak Terhadap Kesehatan
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian literature review examined microplastic contamination in various shellfish species and its potential health impacts on consumers. Shellfish are filter feeders that accumulate microplastics from their surroundings, making them a direct route of human exposure through seafood consumption.
Seiring dengan meningkatnya sampah plastik yang dihasilkan, keberadaan mikroplastik dalam rantai makanan menimbulkan risiko bagi kesehatan manusia. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mikroplastik masuk ke dalam rantai makanan manusia. Kerang sebagai salah satu biota yang hidup di dasar perairan juga sangat rentan terhadap paparan mikroplastik. Kontaminasi mikroplastik pada manusia dapat menyebabkan masalah pencernaan, sirkulasi, reproduksi dan respirasi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan literature review ini adalah traditional literature review. Sumber data yang digunakan berasal dari google scholar dan reseachgate dalam rentang waktu 2017-2021. Artikel literature review yang diperoleh dilakukan screening dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Setelah dilakukan screening didapatkan sebanyak 10 artikel rujukan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 6 artikel menyatakan bahwa ditemukan keberadaan dan bentuk mikroplastik dalam kerang. Empat menyatakan terdapat dampak kesehatan mikroplastik terhadap manusia. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil dari literature review ini adalah mikroplastik memberikan dampak kesehatan jangka panjang pada manusia. Mikroplastik memiliki sifat carrier zat aditif yang dapat menyebabkan kanker. Namun belum ditemukan penelitian mengenai dampak nyata mikroplastik yang menyebabkan kematian.

IDENTIFIKASI KEBERADAAN DAN JENIS MIKROPLASTIK PADA KERANG DARAH (Anadara granosa) DI PERAIRAN TANJUNG TIRAM, TELUK AMBON
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers identified microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) from Tanjung Tiram in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, finding 360 fiber particles and 61 fragment particles in examined specimens. The presence of microplastics in this commercially consumed shellfish raises concerns about chemical transfer to both marine biota and human consumers.
Effect of Consumption of Fish Contaminated with Microplastics on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian-language review synthesises evidence that consuming fish contaminated with microplastics can harm human health, as microplastic particles and adsorbed chemical pollutants transfer from fish tissue into the human body upon ingestion. The paper highlights the fish-to-human exposure pathway as a key public health concern, particularly in regions where seafood is a dietary staple.
Analisis Mikroplastik Pada Kerang Kijing (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) Di Sungai Perancak, Jembrana, Bali
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study examined microplastic contamination in freshwater mussels (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) from the Peranap River, finding that plastic debris in the river was a major source of microplastic exposure for these filter-feeding animals. The results raise concerns about microplastic accumulation in organisms consumed by local communities.
Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.
