ClearPredicting microplastic quantities in Indonesian provincial rivers using machine learning models
This study used machine learning models to predict microplastic levels in rivers across 24 Indonesian provinces based on environmental and economic data. Temperature, economic output, and population density were the strongest predictors of microplastic pollution. The approach could help environmental agencies monitor and manage microplastic contamination in freshwater systems more efficiently.

Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the Metro River in Indonesia, finding that abundance and characteristics varied by land use type, with urban areas showing higher concentrations of fragments and fibers in this rapidly developing region.
Exploring the Impact of River Pollution on Environmental Health in Central Java - Indonesia: A Narrative Literature Review and Sustainable Management Strategies
This narrative review synthesizes research on river pollution impacts in Central Java, Indonesia, identifying domestic waste, agricultural runoff, and industrial discharge — including microplastics — as primary drivers of water quality degradation and health risks.
Assessment of stream quality and health risks in Indonesian river systems: A social analysis and water quality index approach
Researchers assessed water quality in three Indonesian rivers used by local communities, finding microplastics — primarily polyethylene and polypropylene — alongside elevated levels of iron, lead, and manganese, with residents reporting rising rates of skin disease and diarrhea linked to polluted water use.
Correlation of Microplastic Size Distribution and Water Quality Parameters in the Upstream Brantas River
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.
Correlation Analysis of Water Quality and Microplastic Identification in the North Coast Area of Situbondo
Researchers assessed water quality and identified microplastics in a river in North Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding correlations between water quality parameters and microplastic abundance and characterizing the dominant polymer types and morphologies present.
The Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics in the Sediments of the Progo River of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance and characteristics in sediments of the Progo River in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, finding microplastics throughout the river system. Fragment and fiber types dominated, reflecting the widespread plastic waste inputs characteristic of rapidly developing Indonesian urban areas.
Spatial Dynamics of Microplastic Pollution in Water and Sediments of the Ciliwung River along with Conditions of Water Quality Field Parameters and Population Density
This study mapped the spatial distribution of microplastics in water and sediment across Indonesia's heavily populated Ciliwung River, finding significant contamination linked to population density and land use. The dominant types were fragments and fibers from textiles and synthetic materials, with concentrations varying along the river's length. The results underscore the threat that densely settled riverine systems pose as conduits of microplastic pollution into coastal and marine environments.
Microplastic Abundance and Characteristics in the Bango River, Malang, Indonesia, Based on Land Use Patterns
Researchers quantified microplastic abundance and characterized particle types in the Bango River in Malang, Indonesia, finding significant contamination dominated by fragments and fibers linked to urban and agricultural sources.
Identification of the Existence and Type of Microplastic in Code River Fish, Special Region of Yogyakarta
Researchers identified the presence and polymer types of microplastics in fish from the Code River in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, providing early evidence of microplastic contamination in riverine fish from this urban waterway.
Microplastics pollution in sediment of Serang River Kulon Yogyakarta Province
This study measured microplastic contamination in sediments from the Serang River in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. Despite being a smaller river in a suburban area, microplastics were detected, and community members still use the river for daily activities, raising local public health concerns.
Modeling spatiotemporal patterns of microplastic pollution in the lupit river using multilinear regression
Researchers modelled spatiotemporal patterns of microplastic pollution in the Lupit River using multiple linear regression with four predictors — population, seasonality, macroplastic frequency, and volumetric flow rate — finding widespread contamination across rural, residential, informal settlement, and commercial zones.
Pengaruh Perilaku dan Kondisi Permukiman Masyarakat Terhadap Kualitas Air di Sungai Jangkok, Kota Mataram
This Indonesian study examines how population density and household waste disposal habits affect water quality in the Jangkok River, finding domestic waste from densely populated areas is the main pollution source. Poor waste management including plastic disposal directly into rivers is a primary driver of microplastic contamination in Southeast Asian waterways.
