In Java and Kalimantan in Indonesia, river water plays important roles in human life; for example, for transportation, and economic activities of the inhabitants. However, industrial, agricultural and domestic water is discarded into rivers directly in many developing countries, including Indonesia, since drainage systems have not been completely constructed. In this study, to evaluate the water quality and to compare those levels of environmental contaminants in developing and developed countries, water quality and contents of endocrine disrupters were measured in a total of 64 water samples (Indonesia; 28 samples and Japan; 36 samples) from 53 sites. The results indicated that, rivers in both capital cities, Jakarta and Tokyo, were contaminated. Water in rivers in Indonesia was not so heavily polluted as in Japan. Pollution in the river water in Indonesia appeared to be caused by the lack of sewerage systems. In addition, the findings on endocrine disrupters indicated that the concentration of alkylphenol in water samples was large enough to affect living organisms.
在印度尼西亚的爪哇和加里曼丹，河水在人类生活中发挥着重要作用；例如，用于交通运输以及居民的经济活动。然而，在包括印度尼西亚在内的许多发展中国家，由于排水系统尚未完全建成，工业、农业和生活用水直接被排入河流。在本研究中，为了评估水质并比较发展中国家和发达国家的环境污染物水平，对来自53个地点的总共64个水样（印度尼西亚；28个样本，日本；36个样本）的水质和内分泌干扰物含量进行了测量。结果表明，首都雅加达和东京的河流均受到污染。印度尼西亚河流中的水污染程度不如日本严重。印度尼西亚河流水体污染似乎是由于缺乏污水处理系统所致。此外，关于内分泌干扰物的研究结果表明，水样中烷基酚的浓度足以对生物产生影响。
