Researchers assessed microplastic contamination across multiple components of the seagrass ecosystem at Kodingareng Lompo Island in Indonesia, finding microplastics in sediments, surface water, fish, and benthic organisms. The study establishes baseline pollution data for a biodiverse coastal habitat and underscores the widespread reach of microplastic contamination.
Ingested microplastics: a comparative analysis of contaminated shellfish from two sites in the Makassar Strait
Scientists compared microplastic contamination in shellfish from two sites in the Makassar Strait in Indonesia, finding microplastics in all samples tested. The types and amounts of microplastics varied between locations based on local oceanographic conditions and human activity. Since these shellfish are commonly eaten by local populations, the findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure through seafood consumption in the region.
Profil Pencemaran Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Ekosistem Mangrove di Pulau Serangan, Bali
Indonesian researchers measured microplastic contamination in mangrove sediments at Serangan Island, Bali, sampling across different depths and land-use types to map the distribution of plastic particles in this coastal ecosystem. Mangroves act as natural plastic traps due to their dense root networks, making them important sentinels for monitoring coastal plastic pollution.
Urbanization Impacts on Microplastic in Benthic Organisms and Sediment of Small Islands
Researchers investigated how urbanisation on small islands in Indonesia affects microplastic contamination levels in benthic organisms and sediments, examining the impact of land use conversions from pristine ecosystems to settlements and tourism facilities.
Determination of Microplastic Compounds in Some Species of Freshwater Snails in Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia
This study examined microplastic contamination in three freshwater gastropod species from Indonesia's Brantas River system, documenting MP abundance and polymer types across sampling sites and species to assess contamination patterns in edible freshwater snails consumed locally.
Spatial Distribution of Microplastic Contamination in Blood Clams (anadara Granosa) on the Jeneponto Coast, South Sulawesi
Researchers mapped the distribution of microplastic contamination inside blood clams (Anadara granosa) harvested along the Jeneponto coast of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The highest microplastic levels were found in clams from mangrove ecosystems and residential waterways, while river areas showed the lowest contamination. Because blood clams are widely eaten as a daily food source, these findings raise direct concerns about microplastic ingestion by local populations.
