Analisis Cemaran Mikroplastik Di Pesisir Teluk Palu, Sulawesi Tengah

This study measured microplastic contamination in the surface water, water column, and sediments of Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Microplastic concentrations were found across all sampled depths, with fibers being the most common type. The results indicate that coastal urbanization is contributing to significant microplastic accumulation in this Indonesian bay.

Analysis of Microplastic Content in Surface Water of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir in Indonesia

Researchers analyzed surface water from Indonesia's Gajah Mungkur Reservoir, a drinking water source, and found microplastics at every sampling location, with concentrations ranging from 340 to 820 particles per cubic meter. The dominant shapes were filaments and fibers, and the plastics identified included polypropylene and polystyrene. The highest contamination was found at an upstream river inlet, suggesting that rivers are a key delivery route for microplastics into the reservoir. The findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure through drinking water drawn from Indonesian surface water sources.

Komposisi dan Kepadatan Mikroplastik di Sedimen Perairan Pulau Los, Kota Tanjungpinang, Kepulauan Riau

Researchers surveyed Los Island's coastal sediments in Tanjungpinang, Indonesia, and found microplastics at all 30 sampling points, with fibers, fragments, and films present in both sandy and muddy substrates. The study documented that plastic waste has penetrated the sediments of this island environment, threatening the benthic organisms that live there. These findings add to growing evidence that even relatively remote Indonesian island coastlines are significantly contaminated with microplastics from land-based and marine sources.
