The study confirms that one of the world's most plastic-polluted rivers carries plastics throughout its water column, not just at the surface.
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.
The abundance of microplastics in Siak tributary sediments in the watershed area, Pekanbaru City, Riau (Case Study Sago River)
This study quantified microplastics in sediments of the Sago River, a tributary of the Siak River in Indonesia, finding elevated concentrations linked to dense human activities in the catchment. The results highlight tributaries as important entry points for microplastics into larger river systems.
Impact Pollution Microplastics in Rivers in Indonesia
This Indonesian review examines the problem of microplastic pollution in rivers across Indonesia, describing the sources, distribution, and environmental impacts of plastic debris in river ecosystems. Plastic waste from poorly managed urban and rural areas enters rivers and fragments into microplastics that accumulate throughout the water column and sediments. The findings underscore the urgent need for improved waste management infrastructure across Indonesian communities.
The Abundance of Microplastics in Sediment Siak River Pekanbaru City
Researchers assessed microplastic abundance in sediments of the Siak River, Pekanbaru City, examining the river as a pathway for land-based plastic waste to accumulate in aquatic sediment reservoirs given high water utilization activity along its banks.
Abundance and distribution of microplastics in Baturusa watershed of Bangka Belitung Islands Province
Scientists measured microplastic abundance and distribution in the Baturusa River watershed on Bangka Belitung Island, Indonesia, finding plastic particles at all sampling sites. Higher concentrations were found downstream and near populated areas, highlighting the role of human settlements in freshwater microplastic contamination.
Preliminary Study of Microplastic Abundance in Rivers of Greater Semarang Area, Indonesia
Researchers surveyed two rivers in the Semarang region of Indonesia and found microplastics at every sampling site, with concentrations increasing downstream and polyethylene sheet fragments — likely from single-use plastic bags — being the most common type, underlining the need for better waste management to reduce plastic entering waterways.
A novel report on the occurrence of microplastics in Pekalongan River Estuary, Java Island, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in water and sediments of the Pekalongan River estuary in Indonesia, finding concentrations of 45.2-99.1 particles/L in water and 0.77-1.01 particles/g in sediment. Polystyrene, polyester, and polyamide were the dominant polymers, with fragments and films smaller than 1 mm accounting for the majority.
