ClearAssessment of the water quality pollution index and ecological risk of microplastic pollution along the Tambakoso River in Surabaya, Indonesia
This study measured microplastic pollution along the Tambakoso River in Indonesia, which flows through areas of housing, industry, agriculture, and aquaculture. Researchers found an average of about 92 microplastic particles per liter, mostly small fragments, and levels were significantly different across locations. The ecological risk assessment indicated moderate to high contamination, pointing to the need for better waste management in the region.

This review comprehensively summarized microplastic contamination across Indonesian aquatic ecosystems, finding widespread MP presence in rivers, bays, estuaries, beaches, seas, fish, and shellfish, with the highest contamination in water bodies near urban and industrial areas.
Abundance and characterization of microplastic pollution in the wildlife reserve, Ramsar site, recreational areas, and national park in northern Jakarta and Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia
This is the first study to measure microplastic pollution in sediments across protected areas near Jakarta, Indonesia, including a wildlife reserve, a Ramsar wetland site, and a marine national park. Microplastics were found at all locations, with higher concentrations closer to human activity and during the dry season. The results suggest that even designated conservation areas are not spared from microplastic contamination.
