HighlightThe issue of plastic litter and microplastics which is currently of special concern in global particularly IndonesiaThe review of size, colour and shape of microplastics that becomes part of the plastic litterThe observed review highlight of plastic litter and microplastics impact on environmental health particularly aquatic biotaAbstractThe negative impact that comes from plastic litter in the aquatic environment is a scourge for the entire world including Indonesia.Plastic litter has a huge influence on the most biota who lives in symbiosis with along the aquatic environment as it is able to sustainability. Moreover, there are other factors that cause the death of aquatic biota. Nowadays, the negative impact of plastic litter occurs on an ongoing basis through the food chain process which until now has not been well studied. Therefore, it is necessary to do further studies on the influence of the food chain as a vector of plastic litter distribution, particularly microplastic on aquatic biota from the first trophic level to high trophic levels.
Sedimentation is one of the dynamics that occur in coastal areas to determine the condition of the coast. Lekok coastal water is one of the open water areas that have very fluctuating dynamics in coastal changes. The structural study of sediment distribution conducted in this location is used to provide information about the process of transportation and sedimentation based on the distribution of sediment grain size. This study aims to determine the horizontal grain sediment size in the Lekok coastal waters. This research was conducted at nine sampling points by sampling in the form of primary sediments randomly using the grab sampler method. Furthermore, further analysis is done by the gravimetric method. Based on the results of the study note that sediments characteristic in Lekok coastal water are generally dominated by three types of sediments, namely: sandy loam, loam, and silt loam. Sorting values are in a well-sorted to the moderately well-sorted condition where the sediment conditions are well sorted. The skewness value is skewed positively, where the value indicates a positive skewed sedimentary condition. The value of kurtosis is in the leptokurtic condition where the sediment from station 1 to station 9 is homogeneous.
Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan motivasi dan pelatihan cara menanam tanaman hidroponik untuk mengembangkan keahlian dan kreatifitas anak-anak di Yayasan Ishlahul Hayat Bambu Apus Pamulang. Pandemi virus Corona berdampak besar kepada masyarakat di Indonesia. Selama adanya pandemi ini anak-anak yatim dan dhuafa di Yayasan Ishlahul Hayat Bambu Apus Pamulang masih mengalami kendala dalam memperoleh bahan makanan sehat seperti sayuran dan buah-buahan untuk dikonsumsi dengan harga yang terjangkau. Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat dilakukan oleh para dosen Unpam sebagai panitia. Semoga PKM ini dapat membantu meningkatkan keahlian anak-anak dalam merawat tanaman hidroponik selama masa pandemi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
