A review of 80 papers on microplastic (MP) particles in marine sediments was conducted for
different sedimentary environments. The papers were assessed for data on average MP …

Plastic pollution has become a major concern in Indonesian coast and marine environment
today. It occurs because 14% of the solid waste (SW) components in this country is plastic …

Interest in understanding the extent of plastic and specifically microplastic pollution has
increased on a global scale. Still one large piece of the overall puzzle currently lacks: how …

While there is now an established recognition of microplastic pollution in the oceans, and
the detrimental effects this may have on marine animals, the ocean depth at which such …

This study investigates microplastic contamination in the midstream to downstream of the
Cisadane River and its confluence with the Java Sea. The abundance ranged between …

This study was aimed to investigate the abundance and characteristics of microplastics (MP)
in the sediment of Jagir estuary and Wonorejo coast, Surabaya, Indonesia. Sediment …

Microplastics are proven as heavy metals vector, but the adsorption mechanism still unclear.
This study investigated the adsorption of Pb and Cu in microplastics in the Musi River and …

Microplastic distribution in waters gained increasing attention because of the discovery of
microplastics in edible marine organisms. Microplastic size is small, and hence, it tends to …

Marine Microplastics (MPs) exhibit a wide range of properties due to their variable origins
and the weathering processes to which they are exposed. MP's versatile properties are …

Southeast Asia is considered to have some of the highest levels of marine plastic pollution in
the world. It is therefore vitally important to increase our understanding of the impacts and …
