This review comprehensively summarized microplastic contamination across Indonesian aquatic ecosystems, finding widespread MP presence in rivers, bays, estuaries, beaches, seas, fish, and shellfish, with the highest contamination in water bodies near urban and industrial areas.
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.
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.
Microplastic Pollution in Waters and its Impact on Health and Environment in Indonesia: A Review
This review assessed microplastic pollution in Indonesian waters, documenting widespread contamination across rivers, coastal areas, and marine environments, and discussing the health and ecological impacts for the world's second-largest plastic waste contributor.
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.
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.
Microplastic Contaminant in Indonesia: A review on Debris, Exposure, Health Risk and Future Perspective
This Indonesian review collates data on microplastic contamination across the country's marine and coastal environments, documenting debris in fish, shellfish, and seawater, and assessing exposure and health risks for the Indonesian population. Given Indonesia's status as one of the world's largest sources of ocean plastic waste, the findings underscore both local exposure risks and the country's critical role in global microplastic pollution.
Development of Microplastic Research in Indonesia
This systematic review maps the development of microplastic research across Indonesia, documenting studies conducted on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. The findings reveal that microplastic contamination has been detected in Indonesian waters, sediments, and marine organisms, which is concerning given that Indonesia is one of the world's top contributors to ocean plastic pollution.
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.
Impact Pollution Microplastics in Rivers in Indonesia
This Indonesian review examines the problem of microplastic pollution in rivers across Indonesia, describing the sources, distribution, and environmental impacts of plastic debris in river ecosystems. Plastic waste from poorly managed urban and rural areas enters rivers and fragments into microplastics that accumulate throughout the water column and sediments. The findings underscore the urgent need for improved waste management infrastructure across Indonesian communities.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: State of science and future research directions.
This meta-analysis reviews the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, a country identified as one of the top contributors to global plastic waste. The findings highlight significant gaps in data on microplastic contamination in Indonesian waters and ecosystems, which matters because plastic pollution from this region affects global ocean health and the seafood supply chain.
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.
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.
Kelimpahan Mikroplastik di Perairan Pulau Temajo Mempawah Kalimantan Barat
This Indonesian study measured microplastic abundance in the waters around Temajo Island in West Kalimantan, finding widespread contamination from fibers, fragments, and films. The results contribute to mapping microplastic pollution across Indonesian coastal ecosystems, which are under pressure from both land-based and marine plastic 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.

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.
