Microplastics released from dental materials induce oral inflammatory bone resorption and apoptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction
AI summary
This research analyzed governance frameworks for coastal plastic pollution management in Indonesia, evaluating the effectiveness of national policies, local regulations, and community-based initiatives. The study identifies coordination failures across governance levels and proposes institutional reforms to address Indonesia's marine plastic challenge.
