Scoping Review on Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Species Across Indonesian Waters

This review of 13 studies found that tiny plastic particles called microplastics are widespread in fish, shellfish, and other sea creatures that people eat from Indonesian waters. The plastic contamination was especially high in filter-feeding animals like clams and in species living near polluted areas. This is concerning because it means people in Indonesia may be eating seafood contaminated with plastic particles, though more research is needed to understand the health risks.

Microplastics in Indonesian land and aquatic environment: From research activities to regulation policies

This review examines over 250 microplastic research studies conducted across Indonesia's land, freshwater, and ocean environments over the past decade. The study suggests that current research is insufficient to provide a complete picture of microplastic distribution in Indonesia, and recommends improved coordination among researchers, stronger enforcement of plastic-reduction regulations, and greater investment in waste management infrastructure.

Mapping mismanaged plastic waste in Indonesia: subdistrict-level analysis through material flow from sources to the environment

Researchers found that Indonesia produces over 9 million tons of plastic waste each year, with more than 1 million tons ending up directly in rivers, drains, and illegally dumped on land. This mismanaged plastic waste breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics that can contaminate drinking water and food sources, potentially affecting human health. The study helps identify pollution hotspots where better waste management could reduce plastic entering the environment and our bodies.
