- ABSTRACTThis research was conducted from January to February 2018 by taking samples of blood cockles from the coast of Singkep Island, Lingga Regency, Riau Archipelago Province. The purpose of this research were to know the metal concentrations of Pb, Cr, Cu and Zn in different station and different sizes of blood cockle’s shells (Anadara granosa), as well as to find out the level of metal pollution based on MPI (Metal Pollution Index). Analysis of metal concentrations of heavy metal was done by following procedures outlined by Yap et al., (2003). The results showed that the highest metal concenration of Pb was found in medium-size (11.8200 μg/g) at Station 1. Highest concentration of Cr was found in small size (20.5453 μg/g) at Station 1, highest Cu found in small size (18.8987 μg/g) at Station 1, and the highest Zn was found in large size (48.2413 μg/g) at Station 1. The calculated MPI value for coastal water of Singkep Island from this research was 14.66 which considered as quite high.Key Words: Heavy Metal, Pollution, Riau, Mining, Anadara granosa
