Identification of Microplastic Abundance in Indonesia's Coastal Regions: A Review
This review assessed microplastic abundance across Indonesia's coastal regions, synthesizing studies from rivers, seas, and lakes to document the extent of MP pollution in this archipelago nation with high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Concentration, distribution, and characteristics of microplastic in estuary, coast and marine organisms in Indonesia: A Preliminary Review
This preliminary review mapped microplastic concentrations and characteristics in estuaries, coastal sediments, and marine organisms across Indonesia based on published studies. Microplastics were widespread across all compartments studied, with fibers dominant in many locations. The review identifies significant data gaps and calls for more coordinated monitoring to understand Indonesia's marine plastic pollution problem.
Correlation between microplastic disperse in sea and microplastic contained within fish’s gut organ system of semi-arid coastal beach, Kupang city, 2022
Researchers examined the correlation between microplastic concentrations in seawater and microplastic loads found in the gut organ systems of fish collected from the semi-arid coastal beach of Kupang City, Indonesia in 2022. The study found a relationship between environmental microplastic levels and fish gut contamination, raising concerns about human health risks for communities relying on local fish as a food source.
Distribution and Types of Microplastics in Coastal Sediments of Sepanjang Beach
Researchers characterised the distribution and types of microplastics in coastal sediments of Sepanjang Beach, Indonesia, examining microplastic presence in relation to gastropod digestive tract contamination in the local marine environment.
Kelimpahan Mikroplastik pada Perairan Sumatera Barat: Literature Review
A literature review assessed microplastic abundance in the waters of West Sumatra, Indonesia, finding widespread MP detection across multiple aquatic ecosystems studied in the region. The review compiled evidence of MP accumulation and food chain transfer in West Sumatran coastal and freshwater environments.
Microplastic Content in Fish and Sea Water at Air Tawar Coast, Padang City, Indonesia
Researchers analysed microplastic content in fish tissues and seawater at Air Tawar Coast in Padang City, Indonesia, examining how plastic debris fragmenting under sunlight and physical forces enters the marine food chain.
The presence of microplastics in the Indonesian environment and its effects on health
This systematic review examines microplastic contamination across Indonesian environments, including water, soil, and seafood. The findings confirm that microplastics are present throughout the country's ecosystems and may affect human health through contaminated food and water, which is especially concerning for coastal communities that rely heavily on seafood.
Microplastic Pollution in Indonesia: The Contribution of Human Activity to the Abundance of Microplastics
This systematic review of Indonesian microplastic research found that coastal and marine sediments have the highest microplastic abundances, driven by widespread use of cheap single-use plastics and poor waste management across urban and rural areas.
Distribution and types of microplastics on the coast of Aipiri and Andai Beaches, Manokwari District, Indonesia
Researchers surveyed two beaches in Manokwari District, Indonesia, finding microplastics distributed across both sites with fragments and films as the dominant types, raising concern about plastic pollution entering coastal marine ecosystems in this biodiversity-rich region.
Literature Review: Identifikasi Mikroplastik Terhadap Lingkungan Laut Dan Biota Laut
This literature review examines five studies on microplastic identification in Indonesian marine environments and biota, characterising abundance, morphology, and polymer type. The review found that fiber and fragment shapes predominate, polystyrene and polycarbonate are the dominant polymers, and microplastic abundance correlates with local population density and human activity, with ingestion by marine organisms posing risks to food chains and human health.
Microplastic Identification and Density In Coastal Sediments of Manado Bay
Researchers identified and quantified microplastics in coastal sediments of Manado Bay, documenting the density and polymer types of plastic particles accumulating in the marine environment from anthropogenic activities.
The Threat of Microplastic Waste in Dumai Waters, Province of Riau, Indonesia
This study documented microplastic pollution in the coastal waters of Dumai, Riau Province, Indonesia, assessing the extent of contamination from plastic waste in this industrial port city. The findings highlight the threat that poorly managed plastic waste poses to coastal marine ecosystems in developing regions.
