Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Di Udara Dari Hasil Pembakaran Insinerator Di Rumah Sakit X

---

ABSTRACT
Medical waste incineration in hospitals may release microplastic particles into the
atmosphere. Microplastics are plastic particles ranging from 1 μm to 5 mm in size,
characterized by their light weight, ease of dispersion, and potential risks to
human health and the environment. This study aimed to analyze the abundance,
types, and polymer composition of airborne microplastics around the incinerator
of RSUD X in Pekanbaru City, as well as to examine the relationship between
medical waste generation and wind speed with microplastic abundance. Dust
samples were collected over 28 days using a purposive sampling method at three
locations (upwind, downwind, and control). Microplastic types were identified
using microscopy, while polymer composition was analyzed using Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the highest average
abundance of microplastics was found at the downwind point (0.156 particles/ml),
followed by the control (0.099 particles/ml) and upwind (0.087 particles/ml).
Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive
relationship between medical waste generation and microplastic abundance (r =
0.370; p = 0.001), while wind speed showed a very weak and non-significant
negative correlation (r = -0.086; p = 0.438). The identified microplastic types
included fibers, fragments, and films. Based on DSC analysis, the polymers
detected were Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyamide (PA), and Polyethylene
Terephthalate (PET), with PVC and PA being the dominant polymers. This study
indicates that hospital incinerators can contribute to microplastic emissions into
the atmosphere, highlighting the need for mitigation measures to minimize
exposure risks to human health and the environment.
