“…Fragments are formed from the breakdown or fragmentation of larger plastic items which exist in the surroundings due to improper waste management practices. Irresponsible act of human leads to the vast number of plastic debris mainly in rivers and lakes associated with tourism and recreational activities [31,55,59]. Fragment particles were observed to be rough and irregular in Dungun River, Malaysia [8].…”

Microplastics pollution has become a worldwide common problem. Despite the growing numbers in researches regarding the microplastics, the understanding of microplastics in the freshwater environment are still less. This paper overviews the present knowledge and findings on the occurrence of microplastics in water and sediment of the freshwater environments in Asia. The review also covers the size distribution, polymers, morphological characteristics and sources of microplastics to the freshwater systems. Perspective of the adsorption of heavy metals on the microplastics to the freshwater systems are also discussed in this review.

“…Selain itu, produksi plastik meningkat hampir 200 kali per tahun. Pada tahun 2012, produksi sampah global telah mencapai 3,4 juta ton/hari, setengahnya tidak dapat terurai, dan angka ini diperkirakan akan meningkat dua kali lipat pada tahun 2025 1,2 . Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki persentase sampah plastik yang salah kelola cukup tinggi dan disebut sebagai penyumbang polusi plastik laut terbesar kedua di dunia [3][4] .…”

“…Pengelolaan sampah yang tidak tepat berkontribusi pada masalah pencemaran lingkungan. Limbah ini terbawa oleh angin atau hujan ke saluran pembuangan, yang kemudian masuk ke sungai 2 .Sampah plastik yang berada di lingkungan akan dipecah menjadi partikel-partikel plastik yang berukuran kecil dengan proses fisik, kimia dan proses lainnya 5 dan kemungkinan berpotensi tinggi menjadi mikroplastik 3 . Mikroplastik merupakan plastik yang memiliki ukuran < 5mm 6 .Mikroplastik yang ditemukan di lingkungan sangat berbeda dalam ukuran, bentuk, komposisi kimia dan densitas yang berasal dari berbagai sumber 7 .…”

Latar belakang: Sungai Kali Mas berbatasan langsung dengan pemukiman yang dapat berpotensi menyediakan berbagai sumber mikroplastik yang bersumber dari limbah cucian, produk perawatan pribadi dan sampah domestik.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk identifikasi karakteristik fisik mikroplastik di Sungai Kalimas.Metode: Penentuan lokasi sampling dengan metode purposve Sampling. Sampel diambil di 3 (tiga) titik lokasi yaitu pada hulu, tengan dan hilir sungai. Sampel diambil pada pagi, siang dan sore hari pada setiap lokasi sampling. Total keseluruhan sampel berjumlah 9 sampel. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan alat plankton net selama satu jam pada masing-masing lokasi. Identifikasi karakteristik (bentuk, warna dan ukuran) mikroplastik dilakukan dengan menggunakan mikroskop stereo mengacu pada analisis laboratorium NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).Hasil: Konsentrasi mikroplastik di lokasi hulu, tengah dan hilir masing-masing sebesar 0,049 item/m3, 0.053 item/m3 dan 0.095 item/m3. Bentuk mikroplastik terdiri dari fiber 82%, Fragmen 6% dan filamen 12%. Rata-rata ukuran mikroplastik SMP 65% dan LMP 35% dan rata-rata warna mikroplastik transparan 34%, biru 29%, hitam 20%, kuning 2% dan merah 14%.Simpulan:Karakteristik mikroplastik didominasi oleh bentuk fiber 82%, warna transparan 34% dan ukuran SMP 65%. Sehingga, diperlukan IPAL komunal di daerah sekitar sungai Kalimas untuk menghindari sumber mikroplastik berbentuk fiber yang berasal dari kegiatan penduduk. ABSTRACT Title : Identification of Physical Characteristics of Microplastics in Kalimas River, Surabaya, East JavaBackground:kalimas river is directly located next to a residential area that can potentially provide various microplastic sources from laundry activities, personal care products, and domestic waste. Thus,this study aimed to identify the physical characteristics of microplastics in the Kalimas River.Method: Determination of the sampling location by purposive sampling method. Samples were taken at 3 (three) location points, namely upstream, middle and downstream of the rive. Sampling was taken in the morning, afternoon and evening at each sampling location. The total number of samples are 9 samples. Sampling was carried out using a plankton net for one hour at each location. Identification characteristics of microplastics (shape, color and size) was carried out using a stereo microscope referring to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) laboratorium laboratory analysis.Result:The concentration of microplastics in the upstream, middle and downstream locations were 0.049 items/m3, 0.053 items/m3 and 0.095 items/m3 respectively. The microplastic shapes comprised fiber 82%, fragment 6% dan filamen 12%. The average of microplastic size were 65% for SMP and 35% for LMP and average of microplastic color were transparan 34%, blue 29%, black 20%, yellow 2% and red 14%.Conclusion: characteristic microplastic in the water were dominated by fiber shaped 82%, transparent coloured 34% and size SMP 65%. Thus, a communal WWTP is needed in the area around the Kalimas river to avoid sources of fiber microplastic originating from resident activities.

“…Primary MPs are plastic particles synthesized to have < 5 mm size and accidentally released to the environment from various manufacturing activities (GESAMP 2015;Koelmans et al 2014). They are the constituent particles of personal care products such as bath gel, facial cleansers, toothpaste, textiles, and cosmetics (Suardy et al 2020). Primary MPs are also formed during pre-production of resin pellets, in the air-blasting industry (Andrady 2011).…”
