“…This research indicates that non-spherical microplastics, such as fragments and fibres, are more toxic than spherical microplastics [42,86]. Earlier research has indicated that fibres were the predominant form of MPs identified in the sediments of different seaports, such as the Harbour of Stenungsund, Port Philip, Western Port Bays, Port Melbourne, Sydney Harbour (Middle Harbour), the Port of Suva, and the fishing Port of Dumai and Marinas of Montenegro [49,[87][88][89][90][91]. The origin of these fragments is linked to the deterioration of larger plastic debris.…”

Seaports affect the environment through various functions related to cargo handling, connectivity to the sea and land transport networks, and industrial, logistics, and distribution activities. The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary assessment of the contents of dioxins and microplastics in the bottom sediments of the Port of Gdynia. The identification of plastic particles was carried out on the basis of visual and microscopic observations, as well as spectroscopy analysis. Fragments and fibres were dominant when categorised by particle shape, while transparent, white, and black particles dominated when categorised by colour. The predominant polymer types identified polyolefins and their derivatives. These findings suggest that low-density plastics are present in seabed sediments, probably as a result of biofouling. Samples were also tested for the presence of dioxins. In the sediment surface layer, the highest concentrations were obtained for octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (5.54–962 ng/kg d.m.), which has low toxicity. The most toxic congener (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) was present in very low concentrations (0.19–0.32 ng/kg s.m.). The values of the toxicity coefficient ranged from 0.01 to 9.77 ng/kg s.m. The results showed that in the studied bottom zones in Gdynia Port, the analysed pollutants do not cause a high ecological risk and do not require permanent monitoring.

Microplastics are growing environmental concern, posing risks to both ecosystem and human health, especially in marine environments. Purpose this review is studied debris, exposure, health risk and future perspective of microplastic contaminant in Indonesia. This review method is collects the studied from google scholar, with publisher: ScienceDirect, Elsevier, Springer, Frontiers, MDPI, IOP Conference, Nature, Taylor & Francis. Keyword was used microplastic, debris, environmental exposure, health risk, Indonesia. Result finds the kind of microplastic debris are Fragment, Fiber, Granule, Film, Foam and Filament. Microplastic exposure the water organism including fish, shellfish, seabirds, table salt, snail and crab. It has an impact on human health when people consume seafood that contains microplastics through the food chain. Human exposure to microplastics occurs through various routes, including ingestion of contaminated food and water, inhalation of airborne particles, and dermal contact. Health risk indicate that microplastics can accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to inflammation, disruption of gut microbiota, and even the release of hazardous chemicals. The future perspective is needed continued research, monitoring, and policy measures are necessary to effectively mitigate microplastic pollution in Indonesia and safeguard its ecosystems and public health. Overalls, it needs solid waste management and use degradable plastics.

There is a rising concern regarding the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the aquatic ecosystems. Monitoring effort is crucial to understand the concentration and distribution of MPs. The objective of this paper is to mapping the concentration and characteristics of MPs distributed/deposited in estuary, coast, sediment, and marine organism in Indonesia based on data published from the last five years. In the estuary and coast, the highest MPs concentration were located in Brantas River, East Java, around 133 - 5467 particles/m3. In sediment, the highly amount of MP’s, 1136 particles/kg, were found in Kawal village, Bintan Island, Riau. In marine organism, horn snail (Telescopium telescopium) from Rambut Island, Jakarta Bay contained the highest amount of MP’s around 764.81 particles/individual . MPs were commonly found in fragments, fibers, and films with size ranging between 1 μm - 5 mm. Those MPs are mostly made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and polyesters (PES). The data summary obtained in this study could be useful for understanding the sources of MPs as well as monitoring the environmental condition in the aquatic ecosystems.
