Abstract

The management of waste at the UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi Campus is an enormous concern, and a large amount of waste, particularly plastic waste, continues to wind up into landfills. The aim of this research is to use Participatory Action Research (PAR) methods to determine how much plastic trash is generated and whether ecobricks have the potential to help reduce plastic waste. By engaging the academic community in campus waste management through empowerment, capacity building, active participation, and shared experience, this service activity seeks to strengthen the collaboration of the stakeholders involved. It is based on the PAR method, which emphasizes two ideas: action and participation. According on the preliminary mapping findings, it was discovered that plastic accounted for the third-highest percentage of garbage generation—18.86%—followed by plastic bottles—11.45%—of the total waste produced in a day. The second stage involves doing a strategy analysis and concluding with a socialization program for creating ecobricks, which serves as the foundation for change action. One of the best and most environmentally beneficial waste processing techniques is the incorporation of plastic waste management into ecobricks, particularly when combined with a PAR strategy that actively incorporates all campus stakeholders

Abstract

Road dust is a prevalent source of microplastics found in the atmosphere. The primary contributors to the presence of microplastics in dust are vehicle traffic, road surfaces, tire erosion, and road paint. The objective of this study is to categorize the various forms of microplastic pollution present in the road dust surrounding the Angso Duo Jambi market. The research employed a random sampling technique, specifically selecting 4 sample location locations. The total aggregation of microplastics amounted to 1.67 grams. Sample B exhibited the highest prevalence of microplastics, with a distribution of 2.78 grams in the vicinity to the right of Jambi's Angso Duo Market. The analysis of microplastics was conducted using a binocular microscope, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The microscopic analysis of microplastic reveals the presence of several forms, namely fibres, fragments, and films. The FTIR study results indicate that polyethylene is the prevailing polymer type. The chemical composition and types of microplastic polymers found near the Angso Duo Jambi market, as determined by the results collected, include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The environmental impact of microplastics is intricately linked to the characteristics of the microplastics themselves, including their kind, size, concentration, and duration of exposure. Further investigation is required to examine the enduring consequences of microplastics on the environment, particularly in relation to the contamination of road dust.
