“…A recent study byYin et al (2020) also reported bres as a dominant type of MPs with 41-49 to 100 % of the total types of MPs. The same highest proportions of bres documented bySembiring et al (2020). In another study,Zhang et al (2019) detected the bres in sediments to be 60%, with fragments being 30%.…”

Microplastics (MPs) are cosmopolitan in distribution and an emerging threat to life and the environment. These particles are not restricted to human-inhabited lands but also found in different mountains and glaciers where the human population is relatively low. These MPs make their way to the river ecosystem from glaciers, rains, and municipal and industrial effluents. The current study was designed to highlight MPs' pollution in water, sediments, and fishes of the Swat River: originating from the Hindu Kush Mountain Range. These samples were collected from eight different sites across the river. The average MPs concentrations were 305.79 ± 289.66 MPs/m 3, 588.29 ± 253.95 MPs/kg, and 12.54 ± 8.02 MPs/individual the water, sediments, and fish samples, respectively. The highest MPs concentrations (753.71 ± 330.08 MPs/m 3 ) in water were recorded near Mingora City, whereas MPs concentrations (834.0 ± 367.21 MPs/kg) were the highest on the same site. Among the selected fish species, the highest number of MPs was observed in Shizothorax plagiostomus. In contrast, the lowest in Wallago attu being 17.08 ± 8.27 Among the selected fish species, the highest number of MPs was observed in Shizothorax plagiostomus, whereas the lowest in Wallago attu being 17.08 ± 8.27 MPs/individual and 5.0 ± 2.36 MPs/individual, respectively. Fibres were the most prevalent MPs in all the matrices representing 80%, 92%, and 85% of the total MPs count in water, sediments, and fish samples. These findings highlighted that the high concentration of MPs prevailing in the river originating from high-altitude freshwater sources and awareness, education, ecotourism, sustainable reduction in plastic use, and strict rules and regulations could be helpful to prevent the anthropogenic menace.

“…Selain itu, tingkat konsentrasi penduduk yang tinggi di pulau Jawa dibandingkan di pulau lain, membuat penelitian mikroplastik pada lingkungan yang dikaitkan dengan faktor antropogenik menjadi lebih relevan dan menarik dilakukan. Terlihat dari dominasi penelitian mikroplastik di Pulau Jawa yang banyak mengangkat isu badan air yang tercemar (Ramadan & Sembiring, 2020;Sembiring & Fareza, 2020), potensi mikroplastik dari pencemaran udara (Asrin & Dipareza, 2019;Syafei dkk., 2019;Yudison, 2020), ataupun potensi pencemaran akibat dari daerah padat penduduk (Afdal dkk., 2019). Meskipun begitu, dengan masih sedikitnya penelitian mikroplastik di pulau lain, menjadi tantangan untuk diteliti lebih dalam.…”

Microplastics are plastic particles that have a diameter less than 5 mm. Research related to microplastics has developed in the world as well as in Indonesia. Research in Indonesia has been carried out in various places on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. However, there has been no study of the current development status of microplastic research in Indonesia. This paper describes the development of microplastic research in Indonesia from 2014 to 2020 using a systematic review method. The results of the review show that the majority of research on microplastics in Indonesia is about the distribution of microplastics, both in freshwater, marine, and in organisms. In terms of location, the majority of research on microplastics was in Java (66.67%), with the most common form of microplastics being fiber, compared to other forms. In addition, various microplastic concentrations were obtained from various locations. However, the concentrations obtained cannot be directly compared, because the sampling method used is different from one location to another. This is because the microplastic sampling method has not been standardized.

“…However, there is no correlation between microplastic concentration in water and sediment with a microplastic concentration in milkfish. However, the presence of microplastics in each sample originating from various points in the sampling area should be noted for both local government and residents [19].…”

Distribution and environmental risk of microplastics pollution in freshwater of Citarum Watershed

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Citarum River is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of the inadequate waste management system and community ignorance. Plastic is one of the contaminants in the Citarum watershed. In general, plastics less than 5 mm in size are defined as microplastics. Microplastics are persistent and harm the environment. This article aims to determine the potential for pollution and distribution of microplastics in freshwater systems, especially in the Citarum watershed area. Using a combination of literature study methods with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analysis, this article explains that microplastic contamination has occurred along the Citarum watershed from upstream to downstream, found in water and sediment and fish samples. Facilitated by their small size and high stability in the environment, microplastics can move from the aquatic environment into the food chain and cause longterm damage. This case causes a severe threat to the quality of freshwater in the Citarum watershed. Therefore, this article can be used as a reference for managing pollution in the Citarum watershed area.
