Abstract

Microplastics were discovered in sea salts worldwide because they are directly supplied by seawater. This study explores the contamination of five traditionally produced and 10 branded sea salts with microplastics. The highest number of particles was found in the traditionally produced salt (563 items) an abundance of 106.67–3753.33 items/kg. Branded salts had abundance of 25.67 to 866.67 items/kg. There was no significant difference (p > 0.540) in the amount and abundance between these salts. The most predominant shape of microplastics was fiber. The particles sizes ranged from 17 μm to 4.86 mm. The predominant polymers were polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene. The results indicate both traditionally produced and branded salts are contaminated with microplastics. It is necessary to implement technology to eliminate microplastics from abiotic sea salt to protect health and the environment.

印度尼西亚食用盐中的微塑料污染
世界各地的海盐中都发现了微塑料,因为它们直接由海水供应。本研究探讨了五种传统生产的海盐和十种品牌海盐受到微塑料污染的情况。在传统生产的盐中发现的微粒数量最多(563 个),含量为 106.67-3753.33 个/千克。品牌盐的微粒含量为 25.67 至 866.67 个/千克。这些盐的数量和丰度没有明显差异(p > 0.540)。微塑料最主要的形状是纤维。颗粒大小从 17 μm 到 4.86 mm 不等。主要聚合物是聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯和聚丙烯。结果表明,传统生产的盐和品牌盐都受到了微塑料的污染。有必要采用技术消除非生物海盐中的微塑料,以保护健康和环境。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
