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.
Identification of microplastics in water in the Sukolilo Coastal Area, Bangkalan Regency, East Java
Researchers sampling coastal waters in Bangkalan, East Java found microplastic concentrations averaging 4.32 particles per liter, with fiber, fragment, and film shapes present in a range of sizes and colors. These elevated levels in a coastal area highlight the ongoing contamination of Indonesian marine environments and the potential for microplastics to enter seafood consumed locally.
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.
Microplastic Abundance in Sediment in Pangandaran Waters, West Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic abundance in sediments at multiple stations in Pangandaran waters, West Java, Indonesia, finding the highest counts at station 2 (12,622 particles, mostly fibers and fragments) and the lowest at station 4 (1,809 particles). The study identifies oceanographic factors — currents, waves, and tides — as key drivers of microplastic movement and accumulation patterns in coastal Indonesian waters.
Microplastics in Sediments of East Surabaya, Indonesia: Regional Characteristics and Potential Risks
Microplastic occurrence and distribution were characterized for the first time in sediments from 16 sites along urban and mangrove coastal areas of East Surabaya, Indonesia. Microplastic abundances ranged from undetected to 598 items per kilogram, with higher contamination in urban areas and characteristics reflecting mixed local plastic waste sources.
Microplastics as a sedimentary component in reef systems: A case study from the Java Sea
Researchers investigated microplastic distribution in sediments from two tropical atoll reef platforms in Indonesia. The study found that microplastics are a component of reef sediments, with distribution patterns influenced by reef geomorphology and hydrodynamic processes, highlighting the need to better understand how microplastics accumulate in coral reef systems and their potential impacts on reef health.
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.
Assessment of microplastic abundance in Central Java coastal waters: a study of Sendang Sikucing, Karangjahe, and Caruban Beaches
Microplastic surveys at three Central Java coastal beaches in Indonesia found particles in all water samples, with concentrations varying by location and driven by proximity to industrial, tourist, and fishing activities. Fragments, fibers, and films were all detected, and concentrations at one beach exceeded safety thresholds, pointing to localized pollution hotspots that warrant regulatory attention.
Microplastics Characteristics in The Seawater of Gresik Waters, East Java, Indonesia
