Microplastic pollution poses a significant threat to global environmental health, particularly within freshwater ecosystems, where these minute particles accumulate and persist. This research endeavors provide thorough examination of microplastic contamination the Brunei River, aiming elucidate its abundance, distribution patterns, polymer composition. Sediment water samples were systematically collected from six locations along river, employing rigorous methodologies for isolation characterization, including microscopy Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The analysis revealed substantial abundance both sediment column, with concentrations averaging 1212 particles/g 850 particles/L, respectively. Notably, transparent microplastics dominated samples, constituting 28% observed particles, while black prevailed in comprising 38% total. Through attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform (ATR-FTIR) analysis, distinct compositions identified, encompassing mixed polymers, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyamide, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene. Furthermore, spatial demonstrated correlation between proximity densely populated urbanized areas riverbanks. relationship highlights influence anthropogenic activities on levels ecosystems. These findings underscore critical need targeted interventions address riverine environments. Implementing sustainable waste management practices enforcing robust regulatory measures are essential steps mitigate this growing challenge protect ecological integrity human health.
