Analisis Hubungan Aktivitas Petrokimia terhadap Kelimpahan Mikroplastik di Perairan dan Sedimen Pantai Sekucing (Kab. Kendal), Pantai Karangjahe dan Caruban (Kab. Rembang)

Microplastic contamination was measured at three Indonesian beaches near industrial and fishing zones, finding fiber-dominated pollution (55–78% of particles) at all sites, with the highest concentrations at Karang Jahe Beach in Rembang. The study concludes that industrial activity, fishing, and tourism are the main local sources, and that reducing microplastic pollution in these coastal areas will require public education, plastic reduction incentives, and stricter enforcement of environmental rules.

Investigation on Microplastics in Soil near Landfills in the Republic of Korea

Researchers found microplastics in soil samples taken near two South Korean landfills, averaging 73–98 particles per kilogram, with polypropylene and polyethylene being the dominant types and fragments being the most common shape. The high proportion of secondary (weathered) microplastics indicates that fragmentation of larger plastic waste is actively occurring at these sites. These findings confirm that landfills are a significant local source of microplastic soil contamination and warrant inclusion in national monitoring programs.

Microplastic pollution in landfill soil: Emerging threats the environmental and public health

Researchers measured microplastic contamination in soil at a landfill near residential areas in Indonesia and found extremely high levels of over 60,000 particles per kilogram. The most common types were fragments of polyethylene, PVC, polystyrene, and polypropylene. The study raises public health concerns because landfills near populated areas can release microplastics into surrounding soil and water, creating exposure pathways for nearby communities.
