Analisis Cemaran Mikroplastik Di Pesisir Teluk Palu, Sulawesi Tengah
Summary
This study measured microplastic contamination in the surface water, water column, and sediments of Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Microplastic concentrations were found across all sampled depths, with fibers being the most common type. The results indicate that coastal urbanization is contributing to significant microplastic accumulation in this Indonesian bay.
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

Microplastic concentration in column seawater compartment in Burau, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
This study measured microplastic concentrations in seawater at various depths at a site in Burau, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results contribute to understanding how microplastics distribute vertically through the water column in Southeast Asian coastal environments.
Spatial–Vertical Distribution of Microplastics Abundance and Characteristics in the Coastal Waters of Raha City, Muna Regency
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.
