Microplastic in marine environment represent a global issue, originating from both land-based and ocean-based activities. The microplastic contamination in marine biota can lead to the ingestion of microplastics by human through the consumption. This study aims to investigates the abundance of microplastic in marine biota and to assess human health risk among community in coastal area of Muncar District - Banyuwangi Regency. This study was conducted in the coastal area of Muncar district in 2023. The sample of mussels and squid was collected 100 gr, respectively, used to measure the abundance of microplastics. Additionally, 130 respondents were recruited to assess the health risk among community. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with was used to examine the influence of microplastic concentration, the intake rate, and human health risk with Smart PLS 3. The total abundance of microplastic in mussels and squid was found 23 particles or 0.23 particle per gram. The microplastics identified were primarily fiber, with colors including transparent, purple, red and black. The microplastics consisted of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester terephthalic acid and Polyvinyl acetate ethylene. The indirect effect between microplastics concentration, intake rate and hazard quotient are significant (p-value < 0.05). Therefore, microplastic concentrations in marine biota can influence carcinogenic intake, which in turn becomes an indirect factor affecting hazard quotient associated with microplastic consumption. Prolonged or excessive consumption of marine biota with high levels of microplastics can lead to increased carcinogenic intake, thereby elevating the potential health risks to humans.
海洋环境中的微塑料是一个全球性问题，其来源既有陆地活动也有海洋活动。海洋生物群中的微塑料污染会导致人类通过食用海产品摄入微塑料。本研究旨在调查海洋生物群中微塑料的丰度，并评估芒卡尔区-班尤万吉摄政区沿海地区社区的人类健康风险。本研究于2023年在芒卡尔区沿海地区进行。分别采集了100克贻贝和鱿鱼样本，用于测量微塑料的丰度。此外，招募了130名受访者来评估社区中的健康风险。使用Smart PLS 3软件，采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）来检验微塑料浓度、摄入量和人类健康风险之间的影响。贻贝和鱿鱼中微塑料的总丰度为每克23个颗粒或0.23个颗粒。识别出的微塑料主要是纤维，颜色包括透明、紫色、红色和黑色。这些微塑料由聚乙烯（PE）、聚丙烯（PP）、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯（PET）、聚对苯二甲酸酯和聚醋酸乙烯酯组成。微塑料浓度、摄入量和危害商之间的间接效应显著（p值<0.05）。因此，海洋生物群中的微塑料浓度会影响致癌物质的摄入量，进而成为影响与微塑料消费相关的危害商的间接因素。长期或过量食用含有高浓度微塑料的海洋生物会导致致癌物质摄入量增加，从而增加对人类的潜在健康风险。
