Abstract

Microplastic pollution is a significant global environmental concern affecting marine ecosystems and human health. This study investigated the presence and abundance of microplastics in the waters and green mussels (Perna viridis) of the Kalirejo coastal area in East Java, Indonesia, a region known for extensive mussel cultivation. The results showed that microplastics were present in all water and mussel samples, with higher concentrations at shallower depths. Fragments were the most prevalent microplastic type, followed by fibers and films, with polyethylene (PE) identified as the dominant polymer. A strong positive correlation between microplastic concentrations in water and mussel tissues indicates direct environmental uptake. These findings highlight widespread microplastic contamination in the Kalirejo coastal area, raising concerns about environmental impacts and health hazards associated with consuming contaminated shellfish.

印度尼西亚东爪哇Kalirejo沿海地区的微塑料污染及其在绿贻贝（Perna viridis）中的存在。

微塑料污染是影响海洋生态系统和人类健康的重大全球环境问题。本研究调查了印度尼西亚东爪哇Kalirejo沿海地区水域和绿贻贝（Perna viridis）中微塑料的存在和丰度，该地区以广泛的贻贝养殖而闻名。结果表明，所有的水和贻贝样本中都存在微塑料，在较浅的深度浓度较高。碎片是最常见的微塑料类型，其次是纤维和薄膜，聚乙烯（PE）被确定为主要聚合物。水中微塑料浓度与贻贝组织之间存在强烈的正相关关系，表明环境对其有直接的吸收作用。这些发现强调了卡里雷霍沿海地区普遍存在的微塑料污染，引发了人们对食用受污染贝类所带来的环境影响和健康危害的担忧。
