Water Quality Analysis and The Possibility of Heavy Metal Contamination Hg, Pb And Cd On Water Zone in Village Pitusungguof Pangkep Regency
Daftar Isi:
- This study aims to determine the water quality and the possibility of heavy metal contamination of Hg, Pb and Cd in aquatic zones inPitusunggu village, Pangkep regency. Research is a quantitative research using descriptive method. The parameters observed in this study are water quality parameters covering physical and chemical parameters ie temperature, degree of acidity (pH), salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), BOD (Biocheminal Oxygen Demand) or biological oxygen requirement, COD (Cheminal Oxygen Demand) or chemical oxygen requirement and heavy metal mercury (Hg), plumbun or lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) as well as the potential analysis of the development of crab. The results showed that related to water quality, then all parameters of water quality are still in the range that qualify for crab life, as well as heavy metals parameters such as mercury, Pb, Cd, all still under dangerous thresholds. Furthermore, the catching of crabs has increased along with the increase in crab demand.
