Observational study identifies key pollutants affecting river water quality in Yogyakarta, suggesting targeted interventions.

An increase in pH, decrease in temperature, and increase in dissolved oxygen lead to higher microplastic levels in rivers.
Multiple linear regression analysis reveals dissolved oxygen has a significant relationship with microplastic contamination.
Spatial analysis shows pollution causes differ across river locations, indicating the need for tailored management strategies.
The study emphasizes that monitoring chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and total suspended solids is crucial.

Sulistyaningsih et al. (2025) studied this question.
