The ASEAN-5 countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam) of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as a group is an ever-increasing major economy developmental hub in Asia besides having wealthy natural resources. However, heavy metal (HM) pollution in the region is of increasing environmental and public concern. This study aimed to review and compile the concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn in the aquatic sediments of the ASEAN-5 countries published in the literature from 1981 to February 2021. The mean values of Cu, Pb, and Zn in aquatic sediments were elevated and localized in high human activity sites and compared to the earth’s upper continental crust and reference values. Based on 176 reports from 113 publications, the ranges of concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) were 0.09–3080 for Cu, 0.37–4950 for Zn, and 0.07–2666 for Pb. The ecological risk (ER) values ranged from 0.02–1077 for Cu, 0.01–95.2 for Zn, and 0.02–784 for Pb. All reports (100%) showed the Zn ER values were categorized as being between ‘low potential ecological risk’ and ‘considerable potential ecological risk’. Almost all Cu ER values (97.7%) also showed similar ranges of the above two risk categories except for a few reports. The highest Cu level (3080 mg/kg dry weight) was reported from a mine-tailing spill in Marinduque Island of the Philippines with ‘very high ecological risk’. In addition, drainage sediments in the western part of Peninsular Malaysia were categorized as Cu ’high potential ecological risk’. Almost all reports (96%) showed Pb ER values categorized as between ‘low potential ecological risk’ and ‘moderate potential ecological risk’ except for a few reports. Six reports showed Pb ER values of ‘considerable potential ecological risk’, while one report from Semarang (Indonesia) showed Pb ER of ‘very high ecological risk’ (Pb level of 2666 mg/kg dry weight). For the ingestion and dermal contact pathways for sediments from the ASEAN-5 countries, all non-carcinogenic risk (NCR) values (HI values 1.0) for Cu, Pb, and Zn reflected no NCR. The ER and human health risk assessment of Cu, Pb, and Zn were compared in an integrative and accurate manner after we reassessed the HM data mentioned in the literature. The synthesis carried out in this review provided the basis for us to consider Cu, Pb, and Zn as being of localized elevated levels. This provided evidence for the ASEAN-5 group of countries to be considered as being a new socio-economic corridor. Beyond any reasonable doubt, an ever-increasing anthropogenic input of HMs is to be expected to a certain degree. We believe that this paper provides the most fundamental useful baseline data for the future management and sustainable development of the aquatic ecosystems in the region. Lastly, we claim that this review is currently the most up-to-date review on this topic in the literature.

The mangrove sediment from the Mae Klong River (MK) and Klong Khon Canal (KK) revealed the microplastics contamination in the Mae Klong Estuary environment. Microplastic analyses were analyzed by using ZnCl2 density separation and H2O2 digestion process. The average concentrations of microplastic was 580 and 1690 items kg-1 dry weight in the samples from MK and KK. MK sediment contained more coarse grain than KK sediment. The lower microplastic concentration in MK was mainly related to the runoff through the sea. In contrast, the abundant microplastic in KK was possibly caused by the low transportation energy of sediment in the tidal flat that associated with deposition of fine grain. In addition, the microplastics were mainly polyester fiber originating from laundry processes or transport from the vicinity. The contamination in mangrove sediment in this study may encourage communities and the government to be more aware of waste management.

Kerang darah (Anadara granosa) merupakan biota laut yang bersifat filter feeder dan dapat menyimpan logam berat dalam jumlah tinggi. Salah satu logam berat berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia adalah kadmium (Cd). Di sisi lain kerang darah merupakan salah satu sumber makanan tinggi protein dan menjadi sumber daya ekonomis yang cukup diminati masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis cemaran logam berat kadmium pada produk olahan kerang darah yang dijual di pedagang kaki lima di Kota Semarang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif. Pengumpulan data melalui pengukuran kandungan logam berat dengan melakukan pemeriksaan sampel secara laboratorium dengan menggunakan Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom (SSA) dan wawancara dengan pedagang kaki lima di Kota Semarang. Pengambilan sampel penelitian menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan total sampel sebanyak 30 sampel. Analisis data secara deskriptif yang disajikan dalam bentuk tabel dan narasi. Hasil pemeriksaan menunjukkan 2 sampel (6.67%) di atas ambang batas, berdasarkan SNI 7387:2009 tentang Batas Maksimum Cemaran Logam Berat dalam Pangan yaitu 1,0 mg/kg untuk cemaran logam berat kadmium. Perendaman atau perebusan disarankan dilakukan sebelum pengolahan kerang darah untuk mengurangi kandungan logam berat.
