Persebaran Mikroplastik di Lintas Ekosistem Sumatera Selatan
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated microplastic distribution in the Musi River and its estuary in South Sumatra, Indonesia, finding an average concentration of 33.8 particles/m³ with fragments (77.5%) and fibers (22.5%) dominating, and LDPE as the most common polymer type, confirming the river serves as a transport pathway for microplastics from terrestrial sources to the marine environment.
Penelitian ini mengkaji keberadaan dan distribusi mikroplastik di muara dan sepanjang Sungai Musi di Sumatera Selatan, Indonesia—suatu kawasan yang terdampak berat oleh pencemaran industri, domestik, dan pertanian. Sampel diambil dari lima stasiun, dengan hasil menunjukkan rata-rata konsentrasi mikroplastik sebesar 33,8 partikel/m3. Konsentrasi tertinggi ditemukan di pertemuan Sungai Upang, kemungkinan akibat limpasan perkotaan dan buangan industri, sementara konsentrasi terendah terdeteksi di sekitar Jembatan Ampera dan Pulau Kemaro, di mana turbulensi air lokal dapat mendorong terjadinya sedimentasi mikroplastik. Mikroplastik yang teridentifikasi didominasi oleh fragmen (77,5%) dan serat (22,5%), dengan sebagian besar partikel berada dalam kisaran ukuran 301–500 µm. Jenis polimer yang paling dominan adalah Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), yang umumnya berasal dari limbah kemasan konsumen. Temuan ini menegaskan peran Sungai Musi sebagai jalur transportasi mikroplastik dari daratan menuju ekosistem laut, yang berpotensi menimbulkan risiko besar terhadap keanekaragaman hayati akuatik dan rantai makanan. Selain merusak habitat perairan, mikroplastik juga dapat menjadi media pembawa logam berat dan zat beracun lainnya, sehingga memperparah dampak ekologisnya.

Researchers examined microplastic contamination in fish from the Musi River near Sekayu, Indonesia, using KOH digestion and H2O2 extraction of digestive tracts. They found fiber, fragment, and foam particles ranging from 306 to 1069 µm, with color and size variation attributed to UV oxidation and fragmentation.
Ecological and health risks of microplastic contamination in edible fish from the Musi River Palembang, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in all ten fish species sampled from Indonesia's Musi River, with fragment-shaped PET, PE, and PVC particles being most common, though current consumption levels still put fish-eating locals in a low health-risk category. The findings underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and better plastic waste management to prevent risk from increasing over time.
