Identifikasi Cemaran Mikroplastik pada Biota Air Tawar Konsumsi dari Rawa Pening, Jawa Tengah
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers detected microplastic contamination in water, sediment, and freshwater organisms sampled from Rawa Pening lake in Central Java, Indonesia, concluding that nine tributary rivers are likely sources and that human consumption of contaminated aquatic species poses a potential health risk requiring mitigation.
Rawa pening potensial terpapar cemaran mikroplastik, dimana ada 9 sungai yang berkontribusi mengirimkan polutannya. Cemaran mikroplastik juga akan mengancam biota air tawar di Rawa Pening. Permasalahan muncul ketika biota air tawar tersebut ditangkap untuk bahan konsumsi, yang nantinya bisa berpotensi mengganggu kesehatan manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi cemaran mikroplastik pada biota air tawar di Rawa Pening. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitain kuantitatif deskriptif, dimana sampel di ambil di Rawa Pening kemudian dianalisis kandungan mikroplastiknya dengan teknik pengapungan dan pengamatan dilakukan dengan mikroskop dengan perbesaran 40×. Hasil penelitian menunjukan, air rawa pening dan lumpur mengandung mikroplastik begitu juga dengan biotanya. Sumber mikroplastik diperkirakan dari limbah yang dibawa oleh 9 sungai dan masuk ke perairan Rawa Pening. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, lingkungan dan biota di Rawa Pening tercemar mikroplastik dan perlu upaya untuk menimalisir potensi translokasi mikroplastik ke tubuh manusia.

Researchers measured microplastics in common carp, apple snails, and macroalgae along with water and sediment samples from Kedung Ombo Reservoir, Central Java, Indonesia. Microplastic contamination was found across all matrices, highlighting the reservoir as an affected ecosystem with implications for food safety given the high market demand for carp from this site.

Researchers found that a reservoir in Indonesia is contaminated with microplastics that have accumulated throughout the food chain — from zooplankton to fish — and that these particles carry heavy metals, raising health concerns for communities that rely on this water body for food and drinking water.
Mikroplastik dalam Seafood dari Pantai Utara Jawa
AI summary Read the abstract
This book examines microplastic contamination in seafood from the northern coast of Java, Indonesia, exploring how plastic waste breaks down into micro- and nanoscale particles that enter the food chain and reach humans. Using Semarang coastal waters as a case study, it evaluates bioaccumulation pathways, food safety risks, and the implications for a country that is the world's second-largest contributor of unmanaged plastic waste entering aquatic environments.
