一些研究表明，印度尼西亚是全球塑料污染最严重的国家之一。需要有关塑料污染的存在和数量的数据，以帮助设计有效的塑料减少和缓解战略。近年来，量化印度尼西亚塑料污染的研究有所增加。然而，在这项研究中缺乏中央协调，导致了不同的目标，方法和数据格式的研究成果。在这项研究中，我们对印度尼西亚塑料污染发表的研究进行了荟萃分析，以揭示当前研究中的差距和偏见，并利用这些见解提出改进未来研究的方法，以填补这些空白。所确定的研究差距和偏见包括对海洋研究的明显偏好，以及对海洋、河流和陆地系统中某些易于应用方法的环境分区的偏见。用于表达结果的测量单位在研究之间差异很大，因此很难有效地比较数据。尽管如此，我们确定聚丙烯（PP）和聚乙烯变体（PE，HDPE，LDPE）是印度尼西亚宏观和微观塑料污染中最常见的聚合物之一，尽管在很大一部分研究中缺乏聚合物识别。塑料研究主要在Java上进行（59%的研究）。我们建议协调用于量化塑料污染的研究方法。此外，我们建议将研究重点转向河流和陆地环境，并将这些系统中分析的环境分区的重点转移，增加印度尼西亚研究的空间覆盖范围，最后，更注重聚合物表征。随着这些变化，我们设想未来的研究，可以帮助设计更有效和有针对性的减少和缓解战略。
Several studies have suggested Indonesia to be among the top plastic polluting countries globally. Data on the presence and amounts of plastic pollution are required to help design effective plastic reduction and mitigation strategies. Research quantifying plastic pollution in Indonesia has picked up in recent years. However, a lack of central coordination in this research has led to research output with different goals, methods, and data formats. In this study we present a meta-analysis of studies published on plastic pollution in Indonesia to uncover gaps and biases in current research, and to use these insights to suggest ways to improve future research to fill these gaps. Research gaps and biases identified include a clear preference for marine research, and a bias toward certain environmental compartments within the marine, riverine, and terrestrial systems that have easy to apply methods. Units of measurement used to express results vary greatly between studies, making it difficult to compare data effectively. Nevertheless, we identify polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene variants (PE, HDPE, LDPE) to be among the most frequently found polymers in both macro- and microplastic pollution in Indonesia, though polymer identification is lacking in a large part of the studies. Plastic research is mostly done on Java (59% of the studies). We recommend research methods used to quantify plastic pollution to be harmonized. Moreover, we recommend a shift in focus of research toward the riverine and terrestrial environments and a shift of focus of environmental compartments analyzed within these systems, an increase in spatial coverage of research across Indonesia, and lastly, a larger focus on polymer characterization. With these changes we envision future research which can aid with the design of more effective and targeted reduction and mitigation strategies.
