Studi Toksikologi: Mikroplastik pada Organisme Perairan dan Resiko terhadap Kesehatan Manusia di Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a literature review of microplastic contamination in Indonesian aquatic organisms (2015–2024), identifying microplastics across 17 mollusc and 14 chordate species, and assessed potential human health risks via the food chain including digestive disorders, liver dysfunction, and increased cancer risk.
Mikroplastik kini menjadi salah satu permasalahan lingkungan yang krusial di Indonesia, dengan dampak yang signifikan terhadap ekosistem perairan serta dampak serius bagi kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi keberadaan mikroplastik pada organisme akuatik di perairan Indonesia serta mengevaluasi potensi risiko yang dapat ditimbulkan terhadap kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian literatur terhadap jurnal-jurnal ilmiah yang diterbitkan dalam rentang waktu 2015 hingga 2024, dengan sumber data berasal dari Google Scholar. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, mikroplastik terdeteksi di berbagai wilayah perairan, dengan identifikasi sebanyak 17 organisme dari tiga filum moluska dan 14 organisme dari filum chordata, di mana sebagian besar berasal dari spesies ikan lainnya yang paling banyak menunjukkan indikasi keberadaan mikroplastik. Keberadaan mikroplastik memiliki potensi untuk masuk ke dalam rantai makanan, yang pada akhirnya dapat menimbulkan berbagai gangguan kesehatan pada manusia, seperti masalah sistem pencernaan, gangguan fungsi hati, serta peningkatan risiko terkena kanker. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi penting terhadap pemahaman tentang pencemaran mikroplastik di perairan Indonesia dan menyoroti urgensi penerapan langkah-langkah mitigasi guna menjaga kesehatan masyarakat dan kelestarian lingkungan akuatik.

Dampak Pencemaran Mikroplastik Pada Ikan, Kerang dan Sedimen Di Perairan Indonesia: Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination across fish, mollusks, and sediments in Indonesian waters, finding that fiber-type microplastics dominate and that ingested particles—which persist for up to 1,000 years in soil—cause endocrine disruption, metabolic disorders, tissue damage, and reduced survival in aquatic organisms.
Dampak Mikroplastik Terhadap Kesehatan Masyarakat dan Lingkungan

Researchers reviewed seven recent studies on microplastic exposure, finding that microplastics detected in human blood and respiratory tracts can trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and organ damage, while in the environment they disrupt aquatic food chains, enzymatic activity, and act as vectors for antibiotic resistance genes.
The Presence of Plastics in the Environment, Hazards to Human Health, and Mitigation Efforts: A Literature Study

This Indonesian-language literature review examined microplastic presence in the environment, summarizing health risks to humans from microplastic exposure through food and water, the environmental fate of plastic particles, and mitigation strategies including the 3Rs and material substitution to reduce plastic waste pollution.
Effect of Consumption of Fish Contaminated with Microplastics on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian-language review synthesises evidence that consuming fish contaminated with microplastics can harm human health, as microplastic particles and adsorbed chemical pollutants transfer from fish tissue into the human body upon ingestion. The paper highlights the fish-to-human exposure pathway as a key public health concern, particularly in regions where seafood is a dietary staple.
Human Health Risk from Microplastic Contamination in Indonesian Waters Viewed from Distribution, Ecotoxicological Effects and Mitigation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Indonesia has some of the highest microplastic pollution in its waters worldwide, and this review of 42 studies finds these tiny plastic particles are showing up in the fish people eat—causing DNA damage and organ harm in the fish themselves, while also carrying toxic heavy metals along for the ride. Even more concerning, microplastics have been found in human blood, brain tissue, and breast milk, with links to reduced cognitive function, highlighting an urgent need for better plastic waste policies to protect public health.
