Identifikasi Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Air Kawasan Kanal Mangetan, Anak Sungai Brantas Kabupaten Sidoarjo
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study assessed the abundance of microplastics in water from the Kanal Mangetan canal, a tributary of the Brantas River in Sidoarjo. Using purposive random sampling across three stations (upstream, middle, downstream), the study found microplastic contamination throughout the waterway.
Indonesia merupakan negara penyumbang sampah plastik terbanyak setelah China yang lambat laun akan menjadi mikroplastik melalui beberapa proses. Mikroplastik telah mengkontaminasi perairan indonesia termasuk Sungai Brantas. Kanal Mangetan sebagai anak sungai Brantas juga berpotensi terkontaminasi oleh mikroplastik. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kelimpahan mikroplastik di Kanal Mangetan, anak sungai Brantas. Penelitian menggunakan metode Purposive Random Sampling. Sampel diambil di 3 stasiun (hulu, tengah, dan hilir) dengan 14 titik lokasi pengambilan sampel. Sampel diidentifikasi menggunakan modifikasi dari metode NOAA. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat mikroplastik pada 14 titik pengambilan sampel. Jumlah mikroplastik yang teridentifikasi bagian hulu yaitu 1.421, tengah 1.516, dan hilir 2.683 (Partikel/10 L) dengan didominasi oleh jenis fragmen. Sedangkan rata-rata nilai kelimpahan pada semua stasiun yaitu 8.570 partikel/m³.

Analysis of microplastic abundance in Brantas river, East Java
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured microplastic abundance at three stations along the Brantas River in East Java — upstream (Batu City), midstream (Nganjuk), and downstream (Sidoarjo) — finding concentrations ranging from 0.66 to 0.88 particles/L, with the highest levels downstream. Water quality parameters remained within Indonesian regulatory standards, but the findings highlight microplastic accumulation in a major drinking water source.
Identifikasi Mikroplastik Pada Air, Sedimen, dan Bivalvia di Hilir Sungai Brantas

This Indonesian study identified microplastics in water, sediment, and bivalves in the lower Brantas River. Plastic fragments and fibers were found across all sample types, raising food safety concerns since local communities consume shellfish from this waterway.
Analysis of Microplastic Contamination on Water and Sediment in the Brantas Subwatershed of the Malang Area
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study (published in Bahasa Indonesia) analyzed microplastic contamination in both water and sediment of the Brantas River sub-watershed in the Malang area, one of the most important river systems in East Java. Microplastics were found in both water and sediment samples across sampling locations, with fibers being a dominant form. The Brantas River supports millions of people for drinking water and irrigation, making evidence of microplastic contamination in this system a significant public health and environmental concern.
Correlation of Microplastic Size Distribution and Water Quality Parameters in the Upstream Brantas River
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic abundance and size distribution in the upstream Brantas River in Indonesia and analyzed correlations with water quality parameters, finding that smaller microplastic fragments were most prevalent and that microplastic levels related to several water quality indicators. The study contributes baseline data for managing plastic pollution in Indonesian river systems.
