Analysis of Abundance and Distribution of Microplastics in Sediments of Sail River, Pekanbaru City, Riau

Researchers analyzed sediment samples from the Sail River in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, and found microplastic contamination at all sampling stations, with abundance increasing toward downstream areas. Concentrations ranged from 5,335 to 21,374 particles per kilogram of dry sediment, consisting of fragments, fibers, and films. The study suggests that growing urban activities such as housing, shops, and restaurants along the river are contributing to the increasing microplastic pollution.

Microplastic distribution in surface water and sediment river around slum and industrial area (case study: Ciwalengke River, Majalaya district, Indonesia)

Microplastics were surveyed in surface water and sediments of the Ciwalengke River in Indonesia across slum and industrial areas, finding average concentrations of 5.85 particles/L in water and 138 items/kg in sediment with fibers as the dominant form. The study is the first to examine microplastic contamination in a slum-dominated Indonesian river environment, documenting high concentrations linked to informal waste disposal.

Spatial–Vertical Distribution of Microplastics Abundance and Characteristics in the Coastal Waters of Raha City, Muna Regency

Researchers mapped the spatial and vertical distribution of microplastics in the coastal waters of Raha City, Indonesia, sampling at three stations representing different human activity levels. The harbor area showed the highest microplastic abundance, and concentrations were generally higher at the surface and mid-water layers than near the bottom. The study confirms that fisheries and harbor activities, along with river-carried waste, are major sources of microplastic pollution in these coastal waters.
