Analisis Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Pada Air Permukaan Dan Biota Di Perairan Sungai Air Hitam Kota Pekanbaru, Riau
Microplastics are plastic particles with a size of 1 μm – 5 mm that are widely present in surface water and sediments. Increased exposure of microplastics in water can affect food chain cycles, leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification in fish. This study aims to analyze the abundance, types, and polymer types of microplastics in surface water and fish in the Air Hitam River, Pekanbaru City, Riau. Air Hitam River is one of the tributaries of Siak River which has a length of ±8,5 km. Determination of sampling locations for each segment using purposive sampling method based on existing conditions along the river flow by identifying sources of microplastic pollution. The results showed that the average abundance of microplastics in the waters of Air Hitam River was 330±150,3 particles/L with details 200±153,21 particles/L in segment 1, 296±109,62 particles/L in segment 2, and 495±37,71 particles/L in segment 3. The average abundance of microplastics in 8 Chitala lopis was 0,86±0,24 particles/gram for meat samples and 4,35±0,4 particles/gram for gill and digestive tract samples. The types of microplastics found in this study are fragments, fibers, films, and pellets where the fiber is the most common type of microplastics found in water samples (194±106,2 particles) and fish samples (14±6,4 particles). Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis established a significant relationship between temperature and microplastic abundance with sig value (0,005 < α 0,05) and correlation value (r) 0,838. The types of microplastic polymers identified from Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test results are Polycarbonate (PC) and Polypropylene (PP).
