Plastic is an object with a high level of use in society and most of its use is single use only. Plastic that floats and settles in water will be degraded into smaller particles called microplastic…
Sungsang Village is located at Musi River, the estuary area is a semi-enclosed body of water that is in free contact with the sea. The lack of awareness of the Sungsang coastal community causes pla…
Microplastics are a form of plastic waste that is very difficult to detect because they are very small and easily dispersed in the ocean. The danger of microplastic contamination to biota can cause…
One source of marine pollution that is often found is plastic waste. Plastic waste thrown away in coastal areas can be carried by ocean dynamics such as strong currents and settle in important coas…
Musi River is one of the longest rivers in Sumatra, many activities along the Musi River flow ranging from sand mining activities, industrial activities, ports, transportation to settlements. The h…
Human activities in river estuaries are the main cause of plastic waste entering the waters. Plastic waste that enters the water will become smaller parts and is called microplastic. These micropla…
Plastic waste is one of the marine debris that has become a problem because it takes a long time to degrade. Microplastics are the most dominating marine debris in the oceans. Microplastics that ar…
Plastic waste is the most common type of waste found in waters and can cause environmental pollution. Plastics in the water will be degraded by natural processes and will be transformed into small …
The increased use of plastic waste can cause pollution to the aquatic environment. Plastic waste in waters takes a very long time to degrade into small plastic particles called microplastics. Micro…
ABSTRACT : Use of plastic packaging has triggered the accumulation of garbage in the oceans and caused water polution. The plastic in subsequent waters will be degraded into smaller sizes. Micropla…
Microplastics are a threat to ecosystems in coastal areas, especially the Musi River estuary. Microplastics are small pieces of plastic waste (≤ 5 mm). Plastic materials that are very difficult t…
Polusi plastik telah menjadi isu global dengan jumlah yang memenuhi permukaan bumi. Polusi plastik kini meningkat dengan hadirnya mikroplastik pada produk perawatan diri dan kosmetik. Meluasnya mik…
