Abstract

The Lantung area is one of the places on Sumbawa Island with a large gold deposit. One of the activities of the Lantung people that has the potential to damage the environment is separating gold from mercury. This study aimed to examine the activity of the gold laundering process, and the level of contamination of groundwater and river water due to gold processing from amalgamation by mercury (Hg+) waste. In this study, sampling was carried out for each location, namely two samples of wastewater, six samples of river water, and two samples of groundwater, which were then tested in the laboratory on the parameters of mercury and TSS. At the same time, pH was measured in the field. Furthermore, from the survey results, it was found that the use of mercury was ±150-250 mL at each gold processing location. The results showed that all samples from wastewater (tailings), groundwater and river water were contaminated with mercury with levels exceeding the acceptable quality standards. Furthermore, the status of water quality using the Pollution Index (IP) method shows that wastewater is light to moderately polluted, groundwater is lightly polluted, and river water is also lightly to moderately polluted.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the level of damage to the groundwater environment in terms of groundwater quality in the coastal area of Parangtritis and its surroundings. This research study unit is based on the landform unit and activities of the community. The research location is located in Parangtritis Village, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Province. This study used a descriptive quantitative analysis as its method of analysis. This study used primary data obtained by testing groundwater samples in the laboratory. The groundwater sampling technique is carried out using the purposive sampling area. Groundwater sampling was carried out on eleven land units. The determination of the level of environmental damage to groundwater is carried out using the Pollution Index (IP) method referring to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment Number 115 of 2003. The results showed that the environmental damage to groundwater shows the quality status of lightly polluted water with pollutant index values ranging from 1.244-4.176 with variable pollutants chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, and total coliform as well as with sources of pollutants from settlements, livestock, and agricultural activities.
