This Indonesian study measured microplastic concentrations in water from the Mahakam River at different depths and near different land use types in Samarinda city. The results showed higher plastic levels near urban and agricultural areas, providing data on plastic pollution in a major Borneo river that local communities depend on.
Comparison of Phytoplankton Composition and Abundance (River, Estuary dan Coast) as Potential Water Contamination Bio-Indicators in Tallo Watershed Area
Researchers compared phytoplankton composition and abundance across river, estuary, and coastal stations in the Tallo watershed area of Indonesia, identifying four algal classes and evaluating their potential as bio-indicators of water contamination in each zone.
Abundance of microplastics in Cisadane river - Indonesia
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination along the Cisadane River in Indonesia, sampling at 11 points from upstream to downstream. They found microplastics present throughout the river, with concentrations and types varying by location and influenced by nearby human and industrial activities. The study underscores the persistent nature of microplastic pollution in tropical river systems serving large populations.
Phytoplankton characterization in a tropical tidal river impacted by a megacity: the case of the Saigon River (Southern Vietnam)
Scientists studied how phytoplankton communities vary seasonally and spatially in the Saigon River, Vietnam, finding that urban pollution from Ho Chi Minh City significantly shapes which species dominate. The study provides a baseline for tracking ecological change in a highly impacted tropical river.
Evaluation of the Influence of Habitat Heterogeneity and Human Activities on the Distribution of Microbial Diversity in a High Elevation Drop River
This is a freshwater microbiology study characterizing bacterial diversity in the Huotong River across different land-use zones in China; it is not a microplastics research paper.
Diversity of phytoplankton in the whiteleg (Litopenaeus vannamei) shrimp ponds in the south coastal area of Pangandaran, Indonesia
This Indonesian study assessed phytoplankton diversity and water quality in shrimp ponds using different farming intensities, finding that phytoplankton community composition serves as a useful bioindicator of pond health and productivity. Healthy aquaculture ecosystems are relevant to food safety given that farmed seafood is increasingly being found to contain microplastics from contaminated water.
Assessment of Water Quality Status, Nutrients, and Phytoplankton Communities in the Coastal Zone of East Aceh Regency, Indonesia
This study assessed seasonal water quality and phytoplankton communities along the East Aceh coast of Indonesia, examining nutrients and physical parameters. It is not about microplastics and is not relevant to microplastic research.
Identifying the distribution and source of riverine plastic waste contamination: case study of Brantas River in Malang city
Researchers investigated microplastic concentrations and macroinvertebrate communities at three stations along the Brantas River in Malang City, Indonesia, integrating microplastic counts, SIGNAL-2 bioassessment scores, and household waste management surveys. The highest microplastic burden and lowest macroinvertebrate diversity occurred at the station where 80% of residents disposed of plastic waste directly into the river.
Correlation between Average Microplastic Abundance and Water Quality Parameters in Sendang Biru Waters, Malang Regency
This study examined correlations between average microplastic abundance and conventional water quality parameters across multiple sampling sites, finding that turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient levels were partially predictive of microplastic concentrations in surface waters.
Analysis of Microplastics in Water and Biofilm Matrices in Metro River, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers detected microplastics in both water and biofilm matrices across three stations of the Metro River in East Java, Indonesia, with the industrial activity station showing the highest contamination, and fibers being the most common particle shape identified.
Effect of Land Use within Watershed Boundary on the Types of Microplastics Observed in Surface Water
This study surveyed microplastics in the Ciujung watershed in Indonesia and found polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester particles in surface water, with the types of plastic reflecting local land use activities such as farming, irrigation, and settlement waste disposal. The research demonstrates that land use patterns within a watershed directly shape the microplastic contamination profile of its waterways, which is important for identifying pollution sources and designing targeted interventions.
Spatial Dynamics of Microplastic Pollution in Water and Sediments of the Ciliwung River along with Conditions of Water Quality Field Parameters and Population Density
This study mapped the spatial distribution of microplastics in water and sediment across Indonesia's heavily populated Ciliwung River, finding significant contamination linked to population density and land use. The dominant types were fragments and fibers from textiles and synthetic materials, with concentrations varying along the river's length. The results underscore the threat that densely settled riverine systems pose as conduits of microplastic pollution into coastal and marine environments.
Distribution of Microplastic Abundance and Composition in Surface Water around Anthropogenic Areas (Case Study: Jeneberang River, South Sulawesi, Indonesia)
Researchers collected surface water samples from eight stations along the Jeneberang River in South Sulawesi categorised by land use type, finding microplastic concentrations ranging from 2.00 to 5.77 particles per litre with microfibers as the dominant morphotype and highest concentrations near a traditional market site approximately 60 metres upstream.
Spatial and Temporal Variations in Phytoplankton Community in Dianchi Lake Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Bacterial community structure of water, sediment and microplastics in Poyang Lake wetland.
This study compared the bacterial communities living on four types of microplastics (film, foam, fiber, and fragment) in Poyang Lake wetland in China against the bacterial communities in the surrounding water and sediment. The microplastic surfaces hosted distinct microbial communities that differed from both the water and sediment, with foam microplastics supporting the least diverse communities. This "plastisphere" research is important because the unique bacteria colonizing plastic surfaces could spread pathogens or alter nutrient cycles in freshwater wetland ecosystems.
