在印度尼西亚的爪哇和加里曼丹，河水在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色；例如，在居民的交通和经济活动中。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、农业和生活用水被直接丢弃到河流中。为了评价水样的水质状况，比较发展中国家和发达国家的环境污染物水平，对53个采样点(印度尼西亚28个，日本36个)的水样进行了水质和内分泌干扰物含量的测定。结果显示，首都雅加达和东京的河流都受到了污染。印度尼西亚河流的水没有日本那么严重的污染。印度尼西亚河水的污染似乎是由于缺乏排污系统造成的。此外，关于内分泌干扰物的研究结果表明，水样中的烷基酚浓度足够大，足以影响生物。
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.
