Abstract: Background: Microplastics are plastic particles with micro (<5 mm). Its small size and long durability cause microplastics to potentially accumulate in the bodies of living things so that they can endanger the health of aquatic life. This study aims to analyze the level of microplastic pollution in Pelangan Village, West Lombok.
Materials and Methods: The microplastic pollution test was carried out by collecting water samples, sediment samples, and samples of marine biota (gastropods) from three different locations, then extracted using the density separation method. The extracted microplastics were observed using a reverse microscope to identify the shape and color characteristics of the microplastic particles.......
