In the era of industrialization, pollution has totally deteriorated the quality and diversity of life. Heavy metal contaminations are the major causes of environment deteriorations. The basic reasons are natural as well as anthropogenic. Chief sources of heavy metal contamination are air pollution, river sediments, sewage sludge, town waste composts, agricultural chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides, and industrial waste like factories releasing chemicals, anthropogenic activities, etc. Agricultural soils in many parts of the world are generally contaminated by heavy metal toxicity such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Hg, As, etc. These are due to the long-term use of phosphate fertilizers, sewage sludge, dust from smelters, industrial waste, etc. Heavy metals in soils are detected with some specific instruments like atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence and spectroscopy. Among all these instruments, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is the best because it gives the precise quantitative determination. AAS is a method applied for measuring the quantity of the trace elements present in the soil or any other samples.

Safety Limit

The estuary of Donan River is an aquatic area that commonly utilized for some activities such as industrial, fisheries and domestic activities. The effluents of many activities may be cause heavy metal contamination for water enivornemant and organism live in the water. The aim of this research was to analyse heavy metal contain Cu and Cd on the mullet (Chelon subviridis) muscle caught at estuary of Donan River, and to determine the safety limit for community consumption. Sampling had been carried out for 6 months, from August 2015 to January 2016. Heavy metal concentration was measured by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). Result of the study shows that heavy metal Cu and Cd in the fish muscle were 0.5009-2.6021 mg/kg and 0.0165-0.2307 mg/kg, respectively that were higher than safety limit.  Based on the study, the safety limit for consumption is 151.72 g meat/week (for adult 50 kg body weight) and 45.52<br />g meat/week (for child 15 kg body weight).

The potentially important mechanism of biological mobilization of lead from lake sediments was investigated. Lead concentrations of the crustacean Mysis relicta from Kootenay Lake, determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, were compared to published lead sediment concentrations from the same sites. There is a strong correlation between sediment-lead concentration and Mysis-lead concentration. This correlation may indicate that Mysis can accumulate lead from the sediment and return it to the open water.Key words: Mysis relicta, lead, heavy metal contamination, contaminated sediments.

Several researches have been conducted about "Analysis of Heavy Metal Content Mercury (Hg) On Whitening Face Cream Circulating On Percut Sei Tuan Sampali area with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)". The research study was run at the Health Central Laboratory of North Sumatra. This study aimed to determine the levels of mercury (Hg) in the whitening face creams that ciirculating in the Percut Sei Tuan Sampali district. It also need to determine the levels of mercury (Hg) from Percut Sei Tuan Sampali area that accordance with the Regulation No. HK.03.1.23.07.11.6662 POM. However, this was an experiment study with a random of 5 samples among the whitening face cream at Percut Sei Tuan Sampali area. Thus, this area presented that the heavy metal mercury (Hg) from 5 samples were obtained the results that samples 1A was 1.5429 mg / L, samples 2A is 1.5334 mg / L, samples 3A is 1.4851 mg / L, samples 4A is 1.4916 mg / L, the sample 5A is 1, 5180 mg / L. However, the results showed that the mercury (Hg) value was above the levels was determined by BPOM RI, (the permission terms of heavy metal contamination Mercury (Hg) 1 mg / L No. HK.03.1.23.07.11.6662 in 2011). Thus, it was necessary to supervise the facial whitening cream in the Percut Sei Tuan Sampali society.
