Abstract

Abstract. Mercury (Hg) is a heavy metal that is a major concern in terms of health because it is toxic to humans. This study aims to determine the effect of long working on levels of mercury (Hg) in the urine of a gold miner in the village of Panton Luas Sawang District of South Aceh. The sampling technique is total sampling as many as 30 people. The results showed that the levels of mercury in the urine of the highest gold mine workers was 3.8 μg/l and the lowest was 2.0 μg/l with mean 2.82 μg/l (SD ± 0.57), the results Chi-square test showed that the length of work to give effect to the levels of mercury in the urine of miners (p = 0.046). Further research is recommended in order to see the difference in mercury levels in people who are exposed to mercury directly with a gold miner who was not involved in the amalgamation process and the local community at risk of exposure to mercury pollution from mining activities in the village and examine the population residing in other villages in the district mentioned.

Abstract

Abstract   Mercury (Hg) can be exposed to the traditional gold miners during the screening process and annealed. In the filtering process of mercury (Hg) into the body through the skin. And in the process of annealed mercury (Hg) is heated at very high temperatures so that the mercury (Hg) will evaporate and enter the body through inhalation miners. This study aims to determine the amount of mercury (Hg) in the urine of traditional gold miners in the village of Panton Luas subdistrict sawwang southern Aceh district. This study was an observational study with a descriptive design. Sample of 30 people. Collecting data through laboratory tests and questionnaires and analyzed descriptively and analysis uniariat. The results showed that the levels of mercury (Hg) in the urine of gold miners still in the normal range is 4μg / l, an average of 2.82 (SD ± 0.57). Although still within normal limits need to do further research with a more representative sample so that the results will be more accurate.
