Abstrak
Sungai Melaka
adalah sumber pendapatan utama bagi masyarakat di negeri Melaka telah
tercemar oleh mikroplastik. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji
kelimpahan dan ciri mikroplastik yang dijumpai di dalam sampel air daripada 9
stesen pensampelan di sepanjang Sungai Melaka. Kualiti air dan perhubungan
antara mikroplastik dengan sifat fizikokimia kualiti air juga dianalisis dalam
kajian ini. Purata kelimpahan mikroplastik di Sungai Melaka adalah 569 zarah L-1.
Mikroplastik warna hitam dan bentuk serpihan merupakan ciri-ciri mikroplastik
yang dominan. Poliamida (PA) dan polietilena tereftalat (PET) adalah jenis polimer yang banyak dijumpai
di dalam semua sampel air. Jumlah pepejal terampai (TSS) ditemui sebagai
parameter yang mempunyai pengaruh terhadap mikroplastik gentian di Sungai
Melaka. Secara keseluruhan, keputusan ini memberi maklumat terkini mengenai pencemaran
mikroplastik di Sungai Melaka dan menyediakan data penting untuk penyelidikan
lanjut mengenai mikroplastik dalam ekosistem air tawar.

Abstract
Sungai
Melaka, which serves as a primary source of income for communities in the state
of Melaka, has been contaminated by microplastics.
This study investigated the abundance and characteristics of microplastics found in water samples from 9 sampling
stations along Sungai Melaka. Water quality and the relationship between microplastics and the physicochemical properties of water
quality were also analysed in this study. The average abundance of microplastics in Sungai Melaka is 569 particles L-1.
Black-coloured microplastics and fragment shapes are
the dominant characteristics of microplastics.
Polyamide (PA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are the most common polymer
types found in all water samples. Total suspended solids (TSS) were identified
as a parameter that influences microplastic fibres in
Sungai Melaka. Overall, these results provide current information on microplastic pollution in Sungai Melaka and offer important
data for further research on microplastics in
freshwater ecosystems.
