Abstract

Garbage is something useless that arises as a result of human activities. The waste problem is a difficult thing to solve, due to the increasing population, the volume of household organic waste will also increase in urban areas, which is not accompanied by management, management systems, and public awareness of waste management. One of the appropriate technologies that can overcome waste problems is processing household organic waste using the composting method using a composter based on community empowerment and development programs. The community empowerment and development program for the application of simple composter production was carried out in two locations, namely Teluk Kabung Tengah Village, Bungus Teluk Kabung District, Padang City, West Sumatra Province and RT 032 RW 005 Rengas Condong Village, Muara Bulian District, Batang Hari Regency, Jambi. This community empowerment and development program aims to empower the community and develop community knowledge about processing household organic waste using the composting method using a simple composter. From this activity the community has gained increased knowledge from the community empowerment and skills development program in processing household organic waste into compost using the composting method using a composter as well as motivating the surrounding community in an effort to reduce organic waste in the environment around the activity site. Utilization of organic waste into compost can reduce environmental pollution, has economic value, sells value, and can provide nutrients to plants.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution accumulates in the marine environment, thus impacting the health of marine organisms. The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in Horse-Eye Jack fish (Caranx latus) in coastal Bungus Bay, West Sumatra. Fish samples were taken at three different locations, namely, Sako beach, Caroline Beach, and the east side of Bungus Bay. The average abundance of microplastics in horse-eye Jack fish samples in digestive is 21.63 ± 3.99 particles/fish, and in respiration, 9.23 ± 1.92 particles/fish. The shape identified forms of microplastics are fibers, films, fragments, granules, and foam, and the dominant color of microplastics is red. The most common size of microplastics found was <0.5 mm. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis showed that the polymer types of microplastics found were PE, PVC, PET, and PS. Statistical tests showed differences between the abundance of microplastics in two pathways of microplastic uptake (digestive and respiration), and the sampling location P<0.05. The results showed that microplastics were found in all Horse-Eye Jackfish samples in Bungus Bay, West Sumatra.These findings highlight microplastics' harm to the marine ecosystem and the necessity of managing plastic waste if we hope to avoid future plastic pollution catastrophes
