This phenomenon occurs due to atmospheric deposition, the process by which particles and substances from the atmosphere fall to the Earth&#8217;s surface. &#8220;Microplastics in rainwater also indicate the movement of microplastic pollutants in the air,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Arseto also explained the process by which secondary microplastics form in rainwater. It begins with the degradation of macroplastics, which produce microplastics measuring less than 5 millimeters. The release of these plastic particles into the environment can be caused by direct exposure to wind, heat, ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, changes in weather, and human activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This process of microplastic rain can give rise to a variety of new problems, forming a chain. Microplastics, originating in the air and falling through rain, can be carried back to rivers and oceans, where they are absorbed by the soil. Furthermore, microorganisms and various biota can also absorb them, indirectly accumulating in the human body, which can cause health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_105521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105521\" style=\"width: 1037px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-105521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Prof. Arseto Yekti Bagastyo ST MT MPhil PhD shows the current waste management at the Final Processing Site (TPA)\" width=\"1037\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini-355x200.jpg 355w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Prof-Arseto-Yekti-Bagastyo-ST-MT-MPhil-PhD-menunjukkan-pengelolaan-sampah-di-Tempat-Pemrosesan-Akhir-TPA-saat-ini.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1037px) 100vw, 1037px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-105521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Prof. Arseto Yekti Bagastyo ST MT MPhil PhD shows the current waste management at the Final Processing Site (TPA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Furthermore, the bespectacled lecturer highlighted the presence of plastic as a primary object that has become deeply embedded in today&#8217;s lifestyles. Its use, not accompanied by proper waste management, has created new, increasingly intractable problems. &#8220;This is also related to waste generation restrictions and management, which are still ineffective and inefficient,&#8221; he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">This graduate of the University of Queensland, Australia, also revealed that many final processing sites (TPA) in Indonesia currently still operate as open dumping sites. Less than 50 percent of TPAs \u200b\u200bactually implement sanitary landfills, or controlled waste disposal. This professor in the field of waste management also revealed that this has served as a warning to local governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">However, Arseto didn&#8217;t deny that the high operational costs of waste management, coupled with a lack of public awareness regarding waste sorting, are the main obstacles currently facing. The Surabaya native encouraged synergy and contributions from various parties, encouraging them to work together rather than relying on each other. &#8220;Waste management requires integration from upstream to downstream, involving all parties,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Ultimately, Arseto added that the current situation is a wake-up call from nature, one that he hopes will open everyone&#8217;s eyes. Efforts to address this issue can help achieve the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/sdg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"> , including point 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production and point 13 on Climate Change Management. &#8220;We hope that the efforts and roles of each party can be further enhanced,&#8221; Arseto concluded. <\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">(ITS Public Relations)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Reporter: Bella Ramadhani<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ITS Campus, ITS News \u2014 The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) last October reported findings of microplastic rain in Jakarta, followed by similar findings in several other areas.
