<![CDATA[Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui efektivitas pemanfaatan dan laju pertumbuhan relatif tumbuhan kangkung air (Ipomoea aquatica forsk) sebagai tumbuhan fitoremediasi pada air limbah sasirangan. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara eksperimen, analisis sampel dilakukan di Balai Besar Teknik Kesehatan Lingkungan dan Pengendalian Penyakit (BBTKLPP) Banjarbaru. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama 28 hari menggunakan baskom dengan variasi biomassa tumbuhan pada tiap perlakuan . Penelitian ini menggunakan Uji deskriptif dengan 3 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan yaitu dengan perlakuan (A1) dengan biomassa kangkung air 100 gram, perlakuan (B1) dengan biomassa kangkung air 200 gram, dan perlakuan (C1) dengan biomassa kangkung air 300 gram, dengan parameter kromium (Cr), kadmium (Cd), dan timbal (Pb) . Data hasil dari penelitian ini dianalisa dengan Uji – T menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas tumbuhan kangkung air berbeda nyata terhadap penyerapan kadar logam berat kromium (Cr) , Penyerapan kromium (Cr) tertinggi terjadi pada perlakuan A1 dengan biomassa kangkung air (Ipomoea aquatica (forsk) sebesar 100 gram, efektivitas tumbuhan kangkung air tidak berbeda nyata terhadap penyerapan kadar logam berat kadmium (Cd) serta timbal (Pb) . Laju pertumbuhan Kangkung air (Ipomoea aquatica forsk) tertinggi terdapat pada perlakuan A1 dengan biomassa100 gram The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the utilization and relative growth rate of water kale plants (Ipomoea aquatica forsk) as phytoremediation plants in sasirangan wastewater. This research was conducted by experimental sample analysis at the Center for Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control (CEHEDC) Banjarbaru. This study was carried out for 28 days using a basin with variations in plant biomass in each treatment. This study used a descriptive test with 3 treatments and 3 tests, namely by treatment (A1) with 100 grams of water kale biomass, treatment (B1) with 200 grams of water kale biomass, and treatment (C1) with 300 grams of water kale biomass, with parameters chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb). The data from this study analyzed with Test-T showed that the effectiveness of water kale plants differed markedly from the absorption of heavy metal levels of chromium (Cr), the highest absorption of chromium (Cr) occurred in the A1 treatment with water kale biomass (Ipomoea aquatica (forsk) of 100 grams, the effectiveness of water kale plants there is no marked difference to the absorption of heavy metal levels kadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) . The highest growth rate of water kale (Ipomoea aquatica forsk) was found in the A1 treatment with biomass of 100 grams.]]>
