Risk Analysis of Microplastic in Fish (Nemiptus Japonicas & Rastrelliger Sp.) in Communities in the Coast Area of Tamasaju, Galesong Takalar

Plastic waste has become one of the most serious threats to marine environment. Among plasticwaste special concern is microplastic because its small size. This study aimed analyze levelof risk exposure through fish consumption in communities coastal area TamasajuVillage, North Galesong District, Takalar Regency. Microplastic abundance found as many 18 particles,microplastic types are shape a line or fiber with different color and size variations. Blue fiberdominates at 77.77%. The average concentration (C) 0.2 mg/kg. respondentsinterviewed were 30 people mostly fishermen. Average intake rate (R) ± 155 grams/day, Averagefrequency (FE) 190 days/year, duration (Dt) fishconsumption 39 years and. respondent’s weight (Wb) 58 kg. Non-CarcinogenicIntake Rate 0.004754 mg/kg/day Carcinogenic Intake 0.009328 mg/kg/day. results calculations one-way ANOVA obtained P-Value= 0.009867 <value ? = 0.05, then there strong relationship concentration, rate,frequency exposure, Risk (RQ).
