Analisis Cemaran Mikroplastik Di Pesisir Teluk Palu, Sulawesi Tengah
AI summary Read the abstract
This study characterizes microplastic contamination along the coastline of Palu Bay in Indonesia, assessing particle abundance, size distribution, and polymer types in coastal sediments and water. Results reveal widespread microplastic presence across sampling sites, with fragments and fibers dominating the contamination profile. The findings contribute baseline data for a understudied region and underscore the need for improved waste management practices in Indonesian coastal communities.
Akumulasi cemaran mikroplastik di Teluk Palu berpotensi masuk ke rantai makanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsentrasi dan identifikasi mikroplastik di permukaan air, kolom air dan sedimen di pesisir Teluk Palu. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Agustus hingga Oktober 2022. Pengambilan sampel mikroplastik dilakukan pada 5 titik pengambilan sampel dengan pengulangan sebanyak 3 kali. Sampel mikroplastik yang dianalisis menggunakan metode perendaman dengan larutan KOH 10% dan H2O2 30% selama 4 hingga 10 hari dan untuk memastikan bahwa objek yang dianalisa adalah mikroplastik dilakukan metode Hot Needle Test. Mikroplastik jenis serpihan yang paling tinggi ditemukan. Titik pengamatan station 3, Lere, kepadatan mikroplastik tertinggi yaitu: permukaan air 11.29 partikel/l; kolom air 1.14 partikel/l; dan sedimen 62.08 partikel/kg. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa input dari Sungai Palu sangat mempengaruhi kepadatan mikroplastik di Teluk Palu.Kata Kunci: mikroplastik, kolom air, permukaan, polusi, sedimen, Teluk Palu

Analysis of Microplastics on Sediments in the Waters of Selat Panjang of Tebing Tinggi Subdistrict, Meranti Islands Regency, Riau Province
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in sediments in the Selat Panjang waters of Indonesia and found that fragment-shaped microplastics were the most common type, followed by films and fibers. Microplastic abundance varied significantly across the three sampling stations, with the highest concentrations found near a port area.
Spatial–Vertical Distribution of Microplastics Abundance and Characteristics in the Coastal Waters of Raha City, Muna Regency
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers mapped the spatial and vertical distribution of microplastics in the coastal waters of Raha City, Indonesia, sampling at three stations representing different human activity levels. The harbor area showed the highest microplastic abundance, and concentrations were generally higher at the surface and mid-water layers than near the bottom. The study confirms that fisheries and harbor activities, along with river-carried waste, are major sources of microplastic pollution in these coastal waters.
