"TPST Bantargebang menampung 7.500 – 8.000-ton sampah dari wilayah layanan Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Berdasarkan studi komposisi sampah yang dilakukan oleh Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Provinsi DKI Jakarta pada tahun 2017, sampah plastik di TPST Bantargebang telah mencapai 35,28% atau setara dengan 13,7 juta ton. Banyaknya sampah plastik yang masih berada di sekitar lahan titik buang TPST Bantargebang mengindikasikan keberadaan mikroplastik tersebar di sekitar lingkungan TPST Bantargebang dan mencemari lingkungan perairan. Selain itu, dilakukan pengujian terhadap parameter kualitas air seperti TSS, COD, pH dan suhu. Parameter-parameter ini nantinya akan dianalisis terkait antarhubungan dengan mikroplastik. Identifikasi mikroplastik dilakukan dengan menggunakan larutan NaCl 10%, H2O2, dan mikroskop optilab. Proses pengambilan sampel sendiri dilakukan selama dua hari di enam lokasi berbeda. Konsentrasi mikroplastik di lingkungan perairan TPST Bantargebang berkisar antara 255-1937.5partikel/L. Bentuk dan warna mikroplastik yang dominan di lingkungan perairan sekitar TPST Bantargebang adalah fragmen dan warna hitam. Korelasi antara mikroplastik dan COD memiliki nilai 0.66 (Hari-1) dan 0.75 (Hari-2). Dari hasil tersebut dapat diperoleh bahwa korelasi antara COD dengan mikroplastik adalah signifikan dan cenderung berbanding lurus. Korelasi antara mikroplastik dan TSS adalah 0.18 (Hari-1) dan 0.35 (Hari-2). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa antara kedua parameter memiliki hubungan yang tidak terlalu signifikan namun cenderung berbanding lurus. Korelasi antara mikroplastik dan pH adalah -0.20 (Hari-1) dan -0.21 (Hari-2). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa korelasi antara kedua parameter tidak signifikan dan cenderung berbanding terbalik. Tingginya tingkat mikroplastik di lingkungan perairan TPST Bantargebang mengindikasikan perlunya beberapa langkah strategis yang diperlukan dalam mengelola kualitas perairan di sekitar TPST.

TPST Bantargebang accommodates 7,500 – 8,000-tons of waste from the DKI Jakarta Province service area. Based on a waste composition study conducted by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Environmental Office in 2017, plastic waste at the Bantargebang TPST has reached 35.28% or equivalent to 13.7 million tons. The large amount of plastic waste that is still around the Bantargebang TPST disposal point indicates the presence of microplastics scattered around the Bantargebang TPST environment and polluting the aquatic environment. In addition, tests were carried out on water quality parameters such as TSS, COD, pH and temperature. These parameters will later be analyzed for interrelationships with microplastics. Microplastic identification was carried out using a 10% NaCl solution, H2O2, and optilab microscopy. The sampling process itself was carried out for two days in six different locations. The concentration of microplastics in the aquatic environment of the Bantargebang TPST ranges from 255-1937.5 particles/L. The shape and color of microplastics that are dominant in the aquatic environment around the Bantargebang TPST are fragments and black color. The correlation between microplastics and COD has values of 0.66 (Day-1) and 0.75 (Day-2). From these results, it can be obtained that the correlation between COD and microplastics is significant and tends to be directly proportional. The correlation between microplastics and TSS was 0.18 (Day-1) and 0.35 (Day-2). These results show that between the two parameters have a relationship that is not too significant but tends to be directly proportional. The correlation between microplastics and pH is -0.20 (Day-1) and -0.21 (Day-2). These results show that the correlation between the two parameters is insignificant and tends to be inversely proportional. The high level of microplastics in the aquatic environment of the Bantargebang TPST indicates the need for several strategic steps needed in managing the quality of the waters around the TPST."

Microplastic is plastic particle that is less than 5 mm in size and is one of the pollutants in water bodies. Microplastics are emerging contaminants and their presence has been found in various rivers. Rivers are used by humans as a source of raw water for drinking water so that its quality must be maintained to prevent adverse effects on humans. Microplastics that accumulate in human body can cause inflammation of organs, internal and/or external injury, transformation of plastic chemical substances in human body, and decreased fertility. Research needs to be conducted in one of the rivers with the greatest impact in Jakarta, the Ciliwung River, which is used as a source of raw water for the people in Jakarta. This study aims to analyze the number of microplastic particles, identify the characteristics of microplastic particles based on type, color, and material, and analyze the effect of weather conditions on the abundance of microplastic particles. The object of this research is water and sediment in the Ciliwung River with 7 sampling locations and 2 sampling times. Water sampling used a plankton net to filter 10 liters of water. Preparation of water samples is done by separating microplastics based on density, removing organic content, filtering with filter paper, then analyzing microplastics with a microscope. Sediment sampling uses an Ekman grab sampler in the amount of 400 ml. Sediment sample testing is almost the same as water samples with the addition of drying samples using an oven at the beginning of sample preparation. Analysis of microplastic abundance uses the NOAA adaptation method for water and river sediments. Identification of microplastic material characteristics uses the FTIR test to produce material chemical bond. Analysis of the relationship between microplastic abundance and weather is done with paired t-test. The study resulted in an average abundance in water of 1,111 particles/L and in sediment of 1,583 particles/100 grams.

"Mikroplastik yang terakumulasi dalam air limbah tidak mudah terdegradasi oleh mikroba sehingga akan tetap berada di lingkungan. Sementara itu, telah diketahui bahwa mikroplastik menimbulkan bahaya bagi biota air dan manusia. Pendekatan teknologi yang efektif untuk mendegradasi mikroplastik dalam instalasi pengolahan air limbah sangat diperlukan. Proses biodegradasi adalah salah satu teknik yang paling banyak diaplikasikan, namun membutuhkan waktu yang lama. Studi ini mengevaluasi proses ozonasi sebagai pre-treatment untuk mengubah struktur kimia mikroplastik polietilena menjadi lebih rentan terhadap biodegradasi. Proses ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan ozonator corona-discharge dan reaktor batch yang prosesnya divariasikan berdasarkan nilai pH (6, 7, 8, 10, 12), laju alir ozon (1, 3, 5 L / mnt), dan durasi kontak (1, 2, 3 jam). Penelitian dimulai dengan kuantifikasi radikal OH dan ozon terlarut, ozonasi mikroplastik, serta evaluasi ozonasi, yaitu dengan penurunan berat secara gravimetri dan perubahan struktur kimia mikroplastik melalui FT IR Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.

Microplastics accumulated in wastewater are not easily susceptible to microbial degradation thus persist in the environment. Moreover, microplastics pose a danger to aquatic biota and human. Effective technological solutions to degrade microplastics in wastewater treatment plants are desirable. Biodegradation is one of the most applied techniques but takes a long time. This study evaluates the ozonation as pre-treatment to transform the chemical structure of polyethylene microplastic into more susceptible to biodegradation. The process is done by using a corona-discharge ozonator and batch reactor which the process is varied by pH value (6, 7, 8, 10, 12), ozone flow rate (1, 3, 5 L/min), and contact duration (1, 2, 3 hours). The study began by the quantification of OH radicals and dissolved ozone, ozonation of microplastics, and evaluation of ozonation by gravimetric weight loss also the change of microplastic chemical structure through FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The results revealed chemical structural changes of polyethylene after ozonation, confirmed by the appearance of carbonyl bonds and the loss of weight. The optimum operating condition appeared at pH 12 with 5 L/min ozone flowrate which resulted in 0,0482% weight loss and carbonyl bond intensity reached 104,556% during 3 hours ozonation."

Plastik is a high-stability material resulting from the polymerization of monomers, with a high level of usage. In aquatic environments, plastic undergoes photo-oxidative degradation by UV radiation from the sun and chemical processes, leading to the breakdown of plastic waste into small particles known as microplastics (<5 mm). Microplastic particles have the potential to be ingested by various aquatic organisms, posing a risk to the food chain through biomagnification. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of microplastics in water, sediment, and the flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) in different organs and tissues (muscle, gills, digestive tract) in the Blanakan River Estuary, Subang, West Java, based on their shape, size, and polymer types. Water samples were collected in a volume of 50 L, filtered using a plankton net to obtain a final volume of 1000 mL. Sediment samples were collected using a Vanveen grab and stored in 500 mL jars, while flathead grey mullet samples were collected using bubu (10 individuals). Sediment sample extraction was performed using a saturated NaCl solution with a ratio of 1 (sediment) to 2 (saturated NaCl solution), followed by the addition of a 30% H2O2 + 0.05 M FeSO4 solution in a 1:1 ratio for water and sediment samples. Fish sample extraction involved weighing and placing the tissues and organs in a glass beaker, followed by the addition of a 10% KOH solution in a volume of 50 mL. The water, sediment, and fish samples were then filtered using Whatman filter paper with the assistance of a vacuum pump, and placed in Petri dishes for microplastic identification using an Olympus CX22LED microscope. Polymer analysis of microplastics was performed using Raman Spectroscopy. Kruskal-Wallis and one-way ANOVA tests were used to determine significant differences in the abundance and composition of microplastics (size and shape) in water, sediment, flathead grey mullet, and their respective organs. Spearman and Pearson correlation tests were used to investigate the influence of water and sediment, as well as morphometric values, on microplastic accumulation in flathead grey mullet. The research findings showed an average total abundance of microplastics in water to be 710 ± 183,34 particles meter-3, in sediment to be 879,63 ± 205,13 particles kilogram-1, and in flathead grey mullet to be 210,8 ± 108,80 particles individual-1. When ranked in descending order, the abundance of microplastics in the three parts of the flathead grey mullet were as follows: flesh, digestive tract, and gills. Overall, the most commonly found forms and sizes of microplastics were microplastic fibers and those below 300 µm. The polymer analysis revealed that the microplastics found in the Blanakan River Estuary were dominated by PET (40%),  PP (40%), and PVC (20%). Based on the significant difference test for microplastic abundance among different parts of the flathead grey mullet, no significant differences were found. The Spearman correlation test indicated a correlation between the abundance of microplastics in water and sediment in the Blanakan River Estuary and the abundance of microplastics in flathead grey mullet."

"Plastik merupakan salah satu barang yang memiliki tingkat penggunaan yang tinggi hingga mencapai skala produksi sebesar 300 juta ton pertahun. Limbah plastik di perairan membutuhkan waktu hingga ratusan tahun untuk terdegradasi karena karakteristiknya yang kuat, tahan lama, dan tahan terhadap suhu tinggi. Proses degradasi limbah plastik di perairan disebabkan oleh sinar UV yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan bentuk dan ukuran menjadi lebih kecil (mikroplastik) atau tercampur di dalam air (< 5mm). Ukuran yang kecil menyebabkan mikroplastik dapat dengan mudah termakan oleh biota perairan, seperti ikan atau melalui mangsanya yang lebih kecil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komposisi dan kelimpahan mikroplastik berdasarkan bentuk, ukuran, dan polimer pada air, sedimen, serta organ dan jaringan ikan kiper Scatophagus argus (Linnaeus, 1766) di muara Sungai Blanakan, Subang, Jawa Barat. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan pengambilan sampel air sebanyak 50 L lalu disaring menggunakan plankton net hingga mendapatkan 1 L sampel air, pengambilan sedimen dilakukan menggunakan Van Veen grab lalu dimasukkan ke dalam jar HDPE 500 ml, dan pengambilan sampel ikan sebanyak 10 individu dilakukan menggunakan alat tangkap bubu. Sampel air ditambahkan larutan H2O2 30% dan FeSO4 0,05 M masing-masing sebanyak 25 ml. Sampel sedimen dicampurkan larutan NaCl dengan perbandingan sebesar 1 : 2 dan didiamkan. H2O2 30% dan FeSO4 0,05 M ditambahkan hingga sampel terendam. Sampel ikan dibedah untuk diambil bagian insang, saluran pencernaan, dan daging. Setiap bagian dihancurkan menggunakan larutan KOH 10% dengan perbandingan 1 : 10 dan didiamkan. Sampel air, sedimen, dan ikan dipipet sebanyak 40 ml dan disaring menggunakan kertas saring cellulose nitrate dengan bantuan vacuum pump lalu kertas saring ditempatkan di cawan petri. Sampel air, sedimen, dan ikan kiper diamati pada kertas saring menggunakan mikroskop Olympus CX22 dan analisis polimer mikroplastik dilakukan dengan metode Raman Spectroscopy. Analisis statistik dilakukan menggunakan uji one way ANOVA, Kruskal wallis, dan Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rerata kelimpahan mikroplastik pada sampel air sebesar 710 partikel/m3, sedimen sebesar 879,63 partikel/kg, dan ikan sebesar 74,77 partikel/individu. Kelimpahan mikroplastik dari yang tertinggi hingga terkecil pada ikan kiper terdapat di daging, saluran pencernaan, dan insang. Komposisi mikroplastik paling dominan berupa bentuk fiber dan ukuran < 300 µm. Polimer yang ditemukan bertipe PET, PP, dan PVC. Uji Kruskal wallis menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan secara nyata kelimpahan mikroplastik antar organ dan jaringan ikan. Uji Pearson menunjukkan adanya korelasi kelimpahan mikroplastik pada air dan sedimen terhadap kelimpahan mikroplastik di ikan.

Plastic is one of the commodities with a high level of usage, reaching a production scale of 300 million tons per year. Plastic waste in water takes hundreds of years to degrade due to its strong, durable, and heat-resistant characteristics. The degradation process of plastic waste in water is caused by UV radiation, which leads to changes in shape and size, resulting in smaller particles (microplastics) or mixing with water (< 5mm). The small size of microplastics makes them easily ingestible by aquatic organisms, such as fish, or through their prey, which are smaller in size. This research aims to analyze the composition and abundance of microplastics based on their form, size, and polymer in water, sediments, as well as the organs and tissues of the Scatophagus argus(Linnaeus, 1766) fish in the estuary of the Blanakan River, Subang, West Java. The research method involved collecting 50 liters of water samples, which were then filtered using a plankton net to obtain a 1-liter water sample. Sediment samples were collected using a Van Veen grab and placed in a 500 ml HDPE jar, while fish samples were collected using a fish trap, with a total of 10 individuals. The water sample was treated with 25 ml of 30% H2O2 and 0.05 M FeSO4 solutions. The sample was mixed with a NaCl solution in a ratio of 1:2 and left to settle. H2O2 (30%) and FeSO4 (0.05 M) were added until the sample was fully submerged. The samples were dissected to obtain gill, digestive tract, and muscle tissue. Each part was crushed using a 10% KOH solution in a 1:10 ratio and left to settle. Water, sediment, and fish samples were pipetted (40 ml) and filtered using cellulose nitrate filter paper with the assistance of a vacuum pump, and the filter papers were placed in Petri dishes. The water, sediment, and fish samples were observed on the filter paper using an Olympus CX22 microscope, and the analysis of microplastic polymers was conducted using Raman Spectroscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson tests. The results of the study showed that the average abundance of microplastics in water samples was 710 particles/m3, in sediments it was 879.63 particles/kg, and in fish it was 74.77 particles/individual. The highest abundance of microplastics in the kiper fish was found in the muscle tissue, followed by the digestive tract and gills. The dominant composition of microplastics was in the form of fibers and with a size of < 300 µm. The polymers found were PET, PP, and PVC. The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant difference in microplastic abundance among the organs and tissues of fish. The Pearson test showed a correlation between the abundance of microplastics in water and sediments with the abundance of microplastics in fish."
