ABSTRACT

Tin mining will produce tailings waste which has the potential to be a source of pollution environment, especially in watersheds. This research was conducted in Paya Benua Village, Mendo Barat District, Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. This study aims to determine the level of spread of heavy metals Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn in river sediments in the waters of the Pakil River, Paya Benua Village using the geoaccumulation index (I-geo) and analyze the factors that cause the spread of heavy metals in river sediments at the research site. Samples of river sediment were taken at as many as 16 points along with the river flow from upstream to downstream. Laboratory analysis was performed using the ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy) method. The results of the laboratory analysis of heavy metals Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn showed that most of the heavy metals were found varies with the difference in the upstream to downstream region, where there is a higher value of heavy metal content in the tin mining area and the lowest is in a location far from mining. This shows that The varying values ​​are due to natural sediment enrichment factors through geological weathering and other factors anthropogenic or caused by human activities such as mining. Based on the index geoaccumulation (I-geo) the location of the research area is in the category of unpolluted to moderately polluted.
