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 microplastics. The very small size of microplastics means that microplastics are often considered food by marine biota, one of which is the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus). Microplastics that accumulate i…
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 plastic waste to enter the water and contribute to damage and result in a decline in water quality. Wide distribution of plastic waste causes microplastics to easily stick to and be ingested by the mudsk…
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 physical damage, reduce growth rates and tend to be toxic. This study aims to analyse the abundance of microplastics, identify type of microplastics in shrimp Penaeus merguiensis and Litopenaeus vann…
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 coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass and coral reefs. Plastic waste that is degraded over a long time will turn into microplastics. Microplastics can accumulate in marine biota through various o…
Plastic waste in the waters can have an impact on ecosystems in marine and coastal waters. Plastic waste will degrade into microplastics. Microplastics can enter the digestive tract of fish and cause changes in fish metabolic processes, disrupt the immune system of fish and have the potential to contaminate humans who eat them. This study aims to analyze the types, characteristics and abundance…
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 high level of community activity has directly increased waste disposal and polluted the waters of the Musi River. One of them is the disposal of plastic waste which can later form microplastics. Microp…
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 microplastic particles can be eaten accidentally by biota such as Sembilang fish and will eventually accumulate in their digestive tract. Furthermore, microplastics enter and accumulate in the human body thro…
Maspari Island is one of the sea turtle nesting habitat areas in South Sumatra Province. Sea turtles are among the biota that need to be protected, so in an effort to protect sea turtles it is necessary to carry out conservation activities by identifying bio-physical conditions that are suitable for turtle habitat on Maspari Island. The purpose of this study was to determine the point and distr…

Perkembangan pada industri konstruksi yang ada di Indonesia sangatlah dibutuhkan, mengingat hal tersebut dapat menimbulkan efek yang positif dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Material yang digunakan untuk menjadi bahan konstruksi bisa juga berasal dari limbah seperti limbah plastik dan fly ash. Banyak penelitian yang menggunakan limbah plastik yang digunakan sebagai serat fiber pada campura…
Limbah plastik merupakan limbah yang banyak dan sering ditemui di setiap tempat. Permasalahan yang sering dihadapi dari persoalan tentang plastik merupakan persoalan tentang lingkungan, yaitu tidak dapat mudah diuraikan secara alami oleh mikroorganisme di dalam tanah, hingga membuat dampak pada penumpukan sampah plastik dapat menyebabkan pencemaran dan perusakan bagi lingkungan sekitar. Selain …
Material komposit adalah jenis material hasil rekayasa yang terdiri dari dua atau lebih bahan yang memiliki perbedaan sifat satu sama lain, baik sifat kimia maupun sifat fisiknya. Material komposit dibuat bertujuan agar kekurangan dari bahan sebelumnya dapat diatasi dengan kelebihan dari bahan yang lain dan menciptakan suatu material tunggal baru yang memiliki sifat sesuai dengan tujuan dari pe…
Produksi plastik global meningkat selama bertahun-tahun karena banyaknya aplikasi plastik di banyak sektor. Permintaan plastik yang terus menerus menyebabkan penumpukan sampah di TPA menghabiskan banyak ruang yang berkontribusi pada masalah lingkungan. Penelitian ini di fokuskan pada penggunaan pyrolysis reactor plastic yang dimana di dalamnya terdapat bagian yang saling terikat yaitu tabung re…
The durable and non-decomposed nature of plastic poses a big problem after its use, and the increasing presence of plastic waste is very dangerous for the sustainability of the environment and ecosystems. Converting plastic waste into alternative fuels by utilizing the pyrolysis process is one of the most efficient ways to deal with the problem of plastic waste. The purpose of this research is …
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sifat fisik dan mekanis papan partikel yang terbuat dari sabut kelapa dan limbah plastik. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei 2011 sampai September 2011 di bengkel Jurusan Teknologi Pertanian, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Sriwijaya, dan Laboratorium Produksi PT. Sumatera Prima Fibreboard, Indralaya, Ogan Ilir, Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian yang dil…
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 are contaminated and accumulated in organisms can cause physical damage and can cause toxicity, carcinogenesis and endocrine disorders. This study aims to analyze the abundance of microplastics, analyze…
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 particles called microplastics. Pelagic fish is one of the marine biotas type that potential to be affected by microplastic contamination. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the abundance …
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. Microplastics can enter the body of biota and cause blockages in the digestive system. This study aims to analyze the types of microplastics and the abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract of Ana…
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. Microplastic accumulated into the body of biota can cause damage internal organs and blockage of the digestive tract. Demersal fish is a fish that is liked by the community and has high economic value. Theref…
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 to decompose pose a considerable risk to the environment and organisms, one of which is mullet (Mugil sp.). The presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of fish can interfere with the digestive…
