Environmental problems will always exist, one of which is pollution that occurs in rivers. One of the never-ending problems in Indonesia is plastic waste. Microplastics are small particles of plastic that measure between 1-5 mm. Microplastics can have a negative physical, biological, and chemical impact on organisms that ingest them directly or indirectly through eating contaminated prey. The purpose of this study was to detect microplastics in sediments and biota in the Musi River Waters of the Banyuasin Region. This research is a quantitative study using analytical descriptive method conducted in providing a description of an object under study through 50 gram sediment microplastic samples and 3 individual biota in the Musi River in Banyuasin Regency. The results of identification with the types of microplastics found were 3 types identified, namely film, fiber, and fragments. The average size of microplastics found in sediments is 1062.03 μm and for biota is 1011.92 μm. The colors of microplastics found in sediments are brown, pink, and black and for biota are brown and clear. The abundance of sediment microplastics was 120 particles/kg and biota 1.66 particles/individual. River water quality for temperature was 27.4℃, TDS was 968 mg/L, pH was 8.04, and DO was 6.0-6.4 mg/L. The conclusion of the study is that the Musi River in the Banyuasin region from community activities that dispose of garbage in the waters is the cause of the occurrence of microplastics, with river water quality that is classified as safe to have a negative impact on the health of those who use the water. It is recommended to the community to reduce the use of plastic and waste generation.
