Water contamination with heavy metals, mainly mercury and cyanide (CN) due to small scale of public mines and large scale of industrial mines have been in concern to residents around the area. Surveys of heavy metal contamination in aquatic environments, such as rivers and paddy fields over two gold mine areas in West Jawa were conducted and possible solution of using indigenous plants for phytoremediation was studied. The results showed that most of the rivers and other aquatic environments were affected by gold mine activities. Rivers, ponds, and paddy fields around illegal public mines were mostly contaminated by mercury in considerably high levels, such as paddy fields in two locations (Nunggul and Leuwijamang, Pongkor) were contaminated up to 22.68 and 7.73 ppm of Hg, respectively. Whereas rivers located around large scale industrial mines were contaminated by CN. Possible solution of cleaning up by using green technology of phytoremediation was examined. Some plant species grew in the contaminated sites showed high tolerance and potentially effective in accumulating cyanide or mercury in their roots and above ground portions. Lindernia crustacea (L.) F.M., Digitaria radicosa (Presl) Miq, Paspalum conjugatum, Cyperus kyllingia accumulated 89.13, 50.93, 1.78, and 0.77 ppm of Hg, respectively. Whereas, Paspalum conjugatum, Cyperus kyllingia accumulated 16.52 and 33. 16 ppm of CN respectively. Key words: phytoextraction, contaminants, cyanide, mercury

Contamination of mined soil and water affects not only to agriculture system but alsofood chains and epidemiological problems. As soil metal can not be biodegraded,remediation of soil heavy metal risks has been a difficult and expensive goal. Presentlythere are several different strategies available for the clean up and restoration ofcontaminated soils. One approach to minimize risks from some toxic pollutants isphytoextraction using hyperaccumulator plants, known as phytoremediation. In thisresearch Centrosema pubescens was studied to examine its potency ashyperaccumulator against cyanide. Although cyanide is not categorized as heavymetal, its presence is considered as one of important toxic pollutants in theenvironments. Detoxification of cyanide (CN) contaminated soils and waters withplants seems to be a feasible option. Centrosema pubescens which proven tolerant anddominant in the CN contaminated environment was used in this research. The plantswere grown in tailing waste media added by 0, 10, 20 and 30 ppm CN. Different pHlevels were applied, i.e.+ 6 and +5. The results showed that the plants were capable ofgrowing under high level of CN. The results indicated that Centrosema pubescens canbe considered as high tolerance and potentially effective in accumulating CN, i.e up to3.564 ppm in roots and up to 3.564 ppm in shoot with concentration ratio (shoot/root)up to 1.13. The plants also indicated high tolerance by producing high biomass underhigh level of CN, i.e up to 36.517 g (under 20 ppm CN).

One approach to minimize risks from some toxic pollutants is phytoextraction using hyperaccumulator plants. These remarkable plant species accumulate appreciable high concentration of pollutants, including cyanide than normal plants. Although cyanide is not categorized as heavy metal, its presence is considered as one of important toxic pollutants in the environment. Detoxification of cyanide contaminated soils and waters with plants seems to be a feasible option. Since plants vary in their ability to accumulate specific contaminants, it is necessary to select plant species that can both accumulate and tolerate the contaminants. This study aims to characterized plants that grow under extreme contaminated media of gold mined tailing belongs to PT ANTAM Cikotok and to analyse their potencies as hyperaccumulators. Saccharum spontaneum which was proven tolerant and dominant in the contaminated site as well as potential in producing high biomass was used in this research. The plants were grown in tailing waste media added by 0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1 CN. Organic fertilizers i.e. manure and compost were applied to increase CN uptake. The results showed that the plants were capable of growing under the highest level of CN. Application of organic fertilizer increased plant uptake. The results indicated that Saccharum spontaneum can be considered as high tolerance and potentially effective in accumulating CN in their roots and above ground portions.

Keladi tikus Thyponium flageliforme (Lodd.) Bl. is considered as a wild plant species, because it is not fully cultivated yet. However,now adays it is quite widely used even in its wild status, because it is reported to be traditionally used as cancer cure. Due to its potential uses by the people, there is a need to be developed by cultivation in order to fulfill the demand for raw materials, both for medication and planting materials in research activities. This research was conducted to study the behaviour of keladi tikus when bring to cultivation status. The research is divided into two parts i.e: a) the effect of bulb weight as planting material and 2) the effect of shading on the growth. The result sshowed that bulb weight is not significantly affected the growth. On the 10'month after planting the parameter measured is not significantly different. Meanwhile, shading is significantly affected the plant growth. The best growth is achieved on 0% shading, but the growth on 50% shading is still good. The growth on 75% shading has significant decreased.

Studies on the soil nutrient status of a degraded forest under traditional gold mining have been conducted in a forest area in Bojong Pari,Sukabumi,West Java by analyzing nutrient content of soil taken from degraded forest and also from the adjacent virgin forest as a control. Meanwhile, litter deposits from forest floor were collected to be compared. The result showed that the soil is belongs to clay type with the acidity ranged between (based on H2O 1:2,5) 4,72-4,83.Soil macro nutrient content from degraded forest showed N 0,041%; P 0,059 mg/100 g and K 0,222 ppm, this value are lower than that from virgin forest. The litter deposits ( dry weight) taken from degraded forest are 110,53 g/m lower than the virgin forest (230,42 gAn ).It means that traditional gold mining has changed the nutrient status of the Bojong Pan Forest area.

Phytoremediation is defined as a clean up of pollutants primarily mediated by pliotosynthetic plants so its could be used as an alternative technique to overcome contaminated soil and water such an mining ecosystems. These plants have several beneficial characteristics; they have ability to accumulate metals in their shoots and especially high tolerance to heavy metals.Since Indonesia has abundant plant diversity, it is believed that some of them are potential to be used as phytoremediator.This research was carried out to study the potential of three species of grasses in accumulating Pb and Cn. The treatments were arranged on Randomized Complete Block Design (factorial design). The first treatment are species of grass: 1) Cynodon dactylon Pers., 2)Cyperus sp. and 3) Ischaemum timorense Kith.; the second treatment is planting media i.e. 1) tailing soil, 2) soil from wildmining (mining activities run by unexpected miners) and 3) top soil and the third is organic fertilizer: 1) manure, 2) compost and 3) no fertilizer.The resultsshowed that all of the three grasses are potential to accumulate Pb and Cn. Organic fertilizer mixed on planting media is significantly affected the growth of grasses and increasing the accumulation of Cn on leaf of Cyperus sp. and I.timorense. While no evidence in increasing Pb accumulation on all of those three grasses species
