Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Air Laut Di Pantai Wisata Padang Dan Pariaman Provinsi Sumatera Barat
ABSTRACT
Coastal and marine areas have the potential for anthropogenic pollution. Solid
waste, especially plastic, is a pollutant that contributes greatly to polluting coastal
areas. Plastic will degrade into small sizes known as microplastics. This research
was conducted in January 2022 in the sea waters of Padang Tourism Beach (Air
Manis Beach and Muaro Lasak Beach) and Pariaman Tourism Beach (Kata Beach
and Gandoriah Beach) of West Sumatra Province. Based on the results of the
study, four types of microplastics were found, namely fiber, film, fragments, and
granules. The type of fragment is the dominant type found, followed by the type
of film, fiber and granules. Microplastic abundance at Air Manis Beach ranged
from 205.56-732.23 particles/m3, Muaro Lasak Beach 305.85-765.55 particles/m3,
Kata Beach 106.68-396,66 particles/m3, and Gandoriah Beach 218.88-454.44
particles/m3. In general, at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach by type,
microplastic fragments were the most common type found with a percentage of
(53%). The type of film is the second most common type (32%), and followed by
the type of fiber (11%) and the type of grain (4%). Microplastics were distributed
in seawater at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach with different abundances.
