Summary

This Indonesian study measured the abundance of macroplastic debris in the estuary waters of East Kalimantan. The high levels of large plastic items documented in this coastal waterway represent potential sources of microplastic pollution as the materials fragment over time.

Sampah plastik merupakan salah satu dari sekian banyak jenis sampah yang cukup menyita perhatian. Kontribusi sampah plastik di perairan dalam jumlah besar akan sangat mengganggu ekosistem di perairan tersebut. Kalimantan Timur merupakan daerah yang mudah ditemukan keberadaan sampah plastik, hal ini dikarenakan produksi dan penggunaan plastik terus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Keberadaan sampah plastik di perairan disebabkan oleh ulah manusia, baik secara langsung membuang sampah ke perairan maupun secara tidak langsung terbawa arus. Penelitian sampah plastik di perairan Muara Sembilang dilakukan untuk mengetahui keberadaan makroplastik, mengidentifikasi jenis makroplastik, dan menganalisis kelimpahan dan kepadatan makroplastik berdasarkan lokasinya. Pengambilan makroplastik dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat ambil (0,3 m x 0,1 m x 0,1 m) di 4 stasiun dengan masing-masing 3 plot dengan jarak antar plot 10 m. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis film merupakan terbanyak ditemukan di empat stasiun dengan total 18 item, diikuti fragmen dan fiber dengan total masing-masing 3 item. Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan kelimpahan makroplastik antar stasiun pengamatan.

Analisis Keterkaitan Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Dengan Keberadaan Sampah Plastik Di Sungai Mahakam, Kecamatan Muara Kaman

Indonesian-language research linked the abundance of plastic debris in the Mahakam River to the concentration of microplastics in the water, confirming that larger plastic waste is a direct source of microplastic contamination in this river system. The study supports the importance of plastic litter control as a strategy to reduce microplastic pollution.

The contribution of estuaries to the abundance of microplastics in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia

Researchers found that rivers draining into Jakarta Bay are a major source of microplastics, with polyethylene fragments in the 300-500 micrometer size range dominating, and that spatial variation in abundance across nine estuaries reflects differences in local land use and waste management.
