The occurrence of several aquatic contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, were investigated in seawater samples collected from effluent-dominated sites in Indonesia: 4 sites in Jakarta Bay and one on the north coast of Central Java. The data presented in this preliminary study provide a snapshot of seawater quality in these areas. Results show that nutrient parameters exceeded the Indonesian Standard Quality of Seawater limits, and some metals were also present. Interestingly, high concentrations of paracetamol were detected at Angke (610 ng/L) and Ancol (420 ng/L), both in Jakarta Bay. To date, this is the first study to report the presence of paracetamol (acetaminophen) in the coastal waters around Indonesia. The high concentrations detected, compared to other levels reported in scientific literature, raise concerns about the environmental risks associated with long-term exposure and, especially, the impact on nearby shellfish farms. Given pharmaceuticals' consideration as emerging contaminants, these data suggest further investigations are needed.
本初步研究旨在调查印度尼西亚污水排放主导地区海水中存在的几种水生污染物，包括药物。研究采集了雅加达湾的 4 个地点和中爪哇北岸的 1 个地点的海水样本。本研究提供了这些地区海水质量的快照。结果表明，营养参数超过了印度尼西亚海水质量标准限制，一些金属也存在。有趣的是，在安格克（610ng/L）和安科尔（420ng/L）都检测到了高浓度的扑热息痛（对乙酰氨基酚），这两个地点都位于雅加达湾。迄今为止，这是首次在印度尼西亚沿海水域报告存在扑热息痛（对乙酰氨基酚）的研究。与科学文献中报道的其他水平相比，检测到的高浓度令人担忧，这与长期暴露相关的环境风险有关，特别是对附近贝类养殖场的影响。鉴于药物被认为是新兴污染物，这些数据表明需要进一步调查。
