Distribusi Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Di Pesisir Kota Pariaman Provinsi Sumatera Barat
Pariaman City is a tourist destination in West Sumatra which in turn may
be vulnerable to plastic waste pollution. This study was conducted in February
2020 in the coastal area of Pariaman City with the aim to determine the type and
abundance of microplastic and to determine if there is any differences in the
number of microplastics between stations and between depths of the sediment.
Survey method was applied and collected data from the field as well as from
laboratory analysis were then analyzed and discussed. The results of the study
showed that the type of microplastics found from the studied area were fragments,
films, and fibers. The most common type found was fiber (59.01 %). The average
abundance of microplastics at each station ranged from 178.89 – 235.56
particles/kg of dry sediment. The lowest abundance was at station 1 and the
highest was at station 3. The average abundance of microplastic at 0-10 cm depth
of dry sediment layer was 199.26 particles/kg and 220.00 particles/kg of dry
sediment at 10-20 cm depth. ANOVA and t-test analysis, showed that the quantity
of microplastic between stations and between two different depths were not
significantly different (p >0,05).
