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.
Microplastic Distribution in Sediments in Coastal of Pariaman City, West Sumatera Province
Indonesian researchers surveyed microplastic distribution in sediments along the coast of Pariaman City, West Sumatra, finding plastic particles throughout the study area. Higher concentrations near tourism areas and residential zones suggest that local human activities are the primary sources of coastal microplastic contamination.
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.
Spatial distribution and characteristics of microplastic particles in sediments at Belawan Estuary, North Sumatra Province
Researchers characterized the spatial distribution and properties of microplastic particles in sediments at Belawan Estuary in North Sumatra, Indonesia, providing baseline data on microplastic abundance, morphology, color, and polymer composition at a site with no prior microplastic research to inform future ecological assessments of this estuarine system.
A Comparative Assessment of Microplastic Abundance in Conservation vs. Residential Coastal Sediments in Bitung, North Sulawesi Indonesia
Researchers compared microplastic abundance in coastal sediments at a nature reserve versus an industrial port in Bitung, North Sulawesi, finding significantly higher levels at the industrial site and raising concerns about plastic intrusion into protected areas.
Mikroplastik pada Sedimen di Pantai Kartini Kabupaten Jepara Jawa Tengah
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in sediments at Kartini Beach, Jepara, Central Java, collecting samples using purposive sampling at three estuary stations to determine the abundance, distribution, and characteristics of microplastics in this Indonesian coastal environment.
Distribusi Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Di Perairan Teluk Kendari
This Indonesian study (in Bahasa Indonesia) examined the distribution and abundance of microplastics in sediments from Kendari Bay, finding widespread contamination across sampling sites. The results add to growing evidence of microplastic accumulation in coastal sediment environments in Southeast Asia.
Microplastics in sediment of Indonesia waters : A systematic review of occurrence, monitoring and potential environmental risks
This systematic review compiles research on microplastic pollution in Indonesian water sediments, finding widespread contamination across the country's rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Since Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelago nations, this plastic pollution threatens both marine ecosystems and the seafood that local communities depend on.
Dampak Pencemaran Mikroplastik di wilayah Pesisir dan Kelautan
This Indonesian overview examines the problems of microplastic contamination in coastal and marine environments, reviewing the sources, distribution, and ecological effects of plastic pollution. The paper highlights the particular vulnerability of Indonesian coastal areas given high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Status of Microplastic Accumulation in Water and Sediments of Selected Estuarine Ecosystem of Southern Kerala, India
Researchers measured microplastic levels in water and sediment from estuaries in southern Kerala, India, finding significant contamination in both habitats. The study identifies these coastal estuaries as accumulation zones for microplastic pollution, posing risks to local aquatic life and fishing communities.
Microplastic pollution in the sediment of Jagir Estuary, Surabaya City, Indonesia
Microplastics were detected in sediments of the Jagir Estuary in Surabaya, Indonesia, with fragments being the dominant form and polypropylene the most common polymer. The study documents plastic contamination in an Indonesian urban estuary and highlights industrial and urban runoff as likely sources.
The contribution of estuaries to the abundance of microplastics in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers found that rivers draining into Jakarta Bay are a major source of microplastics, with polyethylene fragments in the 300-500 micrometer size range dominating, and that spatial variation in abundance across nine estuaries reflects differences in local land use and waste management.
The Occurrence and Distribution of Microplastic in Sediment of the Coastal Waters of Bengkalis Island Riau Province
This study documented the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments in Indonesia, finding particles widely distributed across sampling sites with varying concentrations by location. The results add to growing evidence of microplastic contamination in Southeast Asian coastal environments.
Abundance and characterization of microplastic pollution in the wildlife reserve, Ramsar site, recreational areas, and national park in northern Jakarta and Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia
This is the first study to measure microplastic pollution in sediments across protected areas near Jakarta, Indonesia, including a wildlife reserve, a Ramsar wetland site, and a marine national park. Microplastics were found at all locations, with higher concentrations closer to human activity and during the dry season. The results suggest that even designated conservation areas are not spared from microplastic contamination.
