<p class="BodyAbstract">Candy sold in the market could be containing a heavy metals like copper. In this study, candy was destructed with HNO3, HNO3/H2SO4 (3:1) dan HNO3/H2SO4/H2O2 (6:2:1) to know the best matter oxidixer for copper. Then, evaluated the levels of copper using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The one way anove result with F test showed that the best oxidizer for copper in candy is HNO3/H2SO4. The average concentration of Copper in candy coded A, B, C, D, and E were 1. 72 mg/Kg; 1.69 mg/Kg; 1.57 mg/Kg; 1.71 mg/Kg; and 1.69 mg/Kg respectively. The content of copper in candies were the under daily dietary recommended limit based on SNI regulation.</p><p class="BodyAbstract"> </p><p class="BodyAbstract"><em><strong>Key Words:</strong> Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, candy, matter oxidizer, time stability, wet destruction</em></p><p class="BodyAbstract"><em> </em></p>

Logam berat Fe merupakan logam berat essensial yang keberadaannya dalam jumlah tertentu sangat dibutuhkan oleh organisme hidup, namun dalam jumlah yang berlebih dapat menimbulkan efek racun.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kandungan dan tingkat pencemaran logam berat Fe pada air, sedimen, dan kerang hijau (Perna viridis) di perairan Tanjung Emas Semarang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 7 November dan 7 Desember 2013 dengan metode penelitian deskriptif. Logam berat Fe dalam sampel air, sedimen dan kerang hijau dianalisis di Laboratorium Balai Besar Teknologi Pencegahan Pencemaran Industri (BTPPI) Semarang dengan menggunakan metode AAS (AtomicAbsorption Spectrophotometry). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perairan Tanjung Emas masih dalam taraf terkontaminasi logam Fe. Sedangkan pada sedimen dan pada kerang hijau (Perna viridis) sudah terindikasi tercemar logam Fe.Meskipun demikian variasi faktor lingkungan seperti suhu, salinitas, pH, kecepatan arus dan jenis sedimen juga memberikan kontribusi yang cukup penting terhadap kandungan logam Fe.Kata Kunci: logam Fe, Air, Sedimen, Perna viridis, metode AAS Heavy metalsiron(Fe) is anessentialheavy metalswhose presencein a certain amountis neededby living organisms, but inexcessiveamountscan causetoxic effects.The aims of the research is to analyze the heavy metals coccentration and the pollution level of Fe in water, sediment, and green mussels (Perna viridis) at Tanjung Emas Semarang.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar, mediante Espectrofotometría de Absorción Atómica (AAS), la concentración de metales pesados (plomo, cromo, arsénico y mercurio) en tejido blando del cangrejo rojo (Ucides occidentalis). Las capturas se realizaron en cinco estaciones de muestreo a lo largo de las riberas del estero Huaylá, Machala, Ecuador, en octubre de 2014. Los especímenes se colocaron en fundas de polietileno y se refrigeraron hasta el momento del análisis, los tejidos se obtuvieron de la parte cefalotoráxica, de la cual se tomaron 2,5 g de muestras, estas se digirieron mediante oxidación húmeda para poder ser analizadas a través de AAS. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que la mayor concentración promedio de plomo (Pb) en tejido blando de cangrejo rojo fue de 13,5 ± 0,45 mg.kg-1 en la estación de muestreo 3 y cromo (Cr) 8,84 ± 0,06 mg.kg-1 en la estación de muestreo 1. La concentración mayor de arsénico (As) fue de 33,59 ± 0,38 mg.kg-1 en la estación de muestreo 4 y mercurio (Hg) 142,54 ± 0,39 mg.kg-1 en la estación de muestreo 4. Por consiguiente, se concluyó que los contenidos de metales analizados superaron los límites máximos establecidos por la Unión Europea (2014) para este tipo de alimento, en todas las estaciones de muestreo. AbstractThe objective of this research was to determine by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), the concentration of heavy metals (lead, chromium, arsenic and mercury) in the soft tissue of the red crab (Ucides occidentalis). Catches were conducted in five sampling stations along the banks of the estuary Huayla, Machala, Ecuador, in October 2014. The specimens were placed in polyethylene bags and refrigerated until the time of analysis; 2.5 g of tissue samples from the cephalothorax was obtained and digested by wet oxidation to be analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that the highest average concentration of lead (Pb) in soft tissue red crab was 13.5 ± 0.45 mg.kg-1 in the sampling station 3 and chromium (Cr) 8.84 ± 0, 06 mg.kg-1 in the sampling station 1. The highest concentration of arsenic (As) was 33.59 ± 0.38 mg.kg-1 in the sampling station 4 and mercury (Hg) 142.54 ± 0.39 mg.kg-1 in the sampling station 4. Therefore we conclude that in all sampling stations the content of heavy metals exceeds the ceilings set by the European Union (2014) for this type of food.

The Barito River as the largest and longest river in South Kalimantan has been convicted as the most polluted river on an international level. Where one of the most commonly found compounds is the heavy metal lead (Pb) with a high enough levels that alternatives are needed to reduce the levels of the metal. One way to reduce the levels of such heavy metals is to use activated carbon hyacinth. So the activated carbon from hyacinth is made in accordance with SII No.0258-79 and knows the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth at a time of 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes in lowering the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb). The research method used to determine the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth is by quantitative testing using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry tool. The results showed that activated carbon hyacinth has met SII No.0258-79 with a randemen test result of 15%, water content of 3%, and absorption of iodine of 241.16 mg / gram. Significant value produced 0.742 with regression value (r) 0.999 and resulted in decreased lead metal levels in the variation of 15 minutes activated carbon administration of -0.030 mg / l with an absorption of 120%, 30 minutes of 0.073 mg / l with an absorption of 48% and 45 minutes of -0.097 mg / l with an absorption of 167%. Hyacinth activated carbon can be used to lower the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb) with a maximum contact time of 45 minutes by 167%.

Abstract We describe an integrated automated system for the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The system makes use of a light-dependent resistor to detect the presence of a marker ion which is present along with the sample ion in the flame. An electronic circuit has been developed which enables the marker ion to trigger the read signal of the spectrophotometer. The system has been tested by determining magnesium and calcium in serum. Alternative modes of operation and different potential applications are discussed.

In order to investigate the heavy metals accumulation and their effects on roadside trees Conocarpus erectus. The total content of Pb and Mn was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry was conducted. Average concentration 10.578 ± 3.48 μg/gm of Pb and 91.98 ± 30.03 μg/gm of Mn was found. Moreover, there were variations in the level of both these heavy metals in different samples of Conocarpus tree that were collected from different locations along the road side due to different level of exposure to Pb and Mn. This physiological response of Conocarpus plant towards Pb and Mn suggests that roadside plants are good indicators of heavy metals accumulation and their subsequent effects on the environment.
