Pulau Rote merupakan gugusan pulau terdepan NKRI paling selatan yang berbatasan dengan Australia. Pada tahun 2009 terjadi tragedi meledaknya sumur minyak Montana di Blok Atlas Barat Laut Timor yang mengakibatkan pencemaran di perairan Pulau Rote. Hal ini berpotensi dampak pada penurunan kualitas air, ikan tangkap, rumput laut, budidaya mutiara dan rusaknya terumbu karang serta tanaman mangrove. Penelitian Lingkungan dan Geologi Pantai di Perairan Pantai Timur Pulau Rote, Nusa Tenggara Timur dilakukan pada bulan September-Oktober 2012. Dalam penelitian ini, diambil 40 sampel air secara acak dan sesaat tanpa memperhatikan waktu/musim. Tujuan sampel air terpilih digunakan untuk analisis logam berat yaitu kadmium (Cd), tembaga (Cu), timbal (Pb), dan Seng (Zn) dengan menggunakan metoda Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan data dan informasi karakteristik kimia air laut untuk mendukung kegiatan wisata bahari. Kualitas logam berat dalam satuan ppm yang terukur berkisar antara : Pb (<0.001-0.017); Cu (<0.001-0.015); Zn (0.008-0.275); Cd (0.0002-0.0005). Nilai status mutu air laut berdasarkan kualitas logam berat yang terukur menurut Metode Storet diketahui : kualitas air laut di perairan termasuk kelas B baik (tercemar ringan) skor -2.Kata kunci kualitas air, logam berat, nilai status mutu, timur Pulau Rote Rote Island is a outers island of southern NKRI which bordering Australia. In 2009, tragedy explosion of oil wells in Block Atlas Montana West Timor which resulted in the pollution of the waters of the island of Rote. This could potentially impact on the quality of water, catching fish, seaweed, pearl cultivation and destruction of coral reefs and mangroves. Environmental and Coastal Geological Research in the Coastal Waters of East Coast Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara was conducted in September-October 2012. In this study, 40 samples were taken at random and instantaneous water regardless of time / season. Purpose water samples selected for analysis of heavy metals, such as Cadmium (Cd), Cuprum (Cu), Plumbum (Pb), and Zinc (Zn) using the method of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The purpose of this study was to obtain data and information on the latest chemical characteristics in seawater to support marine tourism activities. Heavy metals quality in ppm ranges between: Pb (<0.001-0.017); Cu (<0.001-0.015); Zn (0.008-0.275); Cd (0.0002-0.0005). The water quality status value is based on the quality of heavy metals measured according to Storet methods, whereabout : sea water quality status value belongs to the class B good (lightly polluted) score of -2. Keywords: water quality, heavy metal, quality status value, east Rote Island

Aktivitas manusia di sekitar Sungai Winongo dapat berdampak pada kontaminasi logam berat dari limpasan permukaan dan buangan langsung. Sifat toksik pada logam perlu diperhatikan karena dapat terakumulasi dalam waktu yang lama dan merusak lingkungan. Evaluasi logam berat dapat dilakukan dengan cara pemantauan kualitas air dan kualitas sedimen untuk mengetahui tingkat pencemaran suatu perairan karena logam berat dan distribusi logam berat itu sendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui level toksik perairan dilakukan analisis hasil dengan berbagai indeks, yaitu Faktor Risiko Ekologis (Er) dan Indeks Beban Polusi (PLI). Sampel air, sampel sedimen tersuspensi (TSS), dan sedimen pada dasar permukaan diambil pada masing-masing titik untuk diuji laboratorium menggunakan alat AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa logam Cu dan Cr paling banyak ditemukan pada sedimen dasar, sedangkan logam Pb paling banyak ditemukan terlarut dalam air. Logam pada sedimen tersuspensi ditemukan sangat kecil yaitu <0,031. Konsentrasi logam pada sedimen tersuspensi tertinggi adalah 0,043 mg/L pada titik T4.  Berdasarkan perhitungan Er dan PLI, potensi risiko ekologis terhadap logam di Sungai Winongo rendah (Er<40) dan tidak terdapat polusi karena logam berat (PLI<1). Namun, analisis kualitas air menunjukkan untuk nilai Cu dan Pb melebihi baku mutu kelas 2. Penelitian ini dapat dijadikan penelitian awal dalam kajian logam berat di Sungai Winongo secara historis.ABSTRACTThe Increase of human activities around the Winongo River can have an impact on decreasing water quality due to pollution from household and small industrial waste. Metal contamination in the aquatic environment is an environmental issue that needs attention due to its toxicity. Moreover, it can be accumulated in aquatic environments for a long time. Monitoring water quality and sediment quality is important to determine the distribution of heavy metals sources and the level of pollution in the waters. This research aims to determine the water toxicity level. An analysis of the results was carried out with various indices, which are the Ecological Risk (Er) and Pollution Load Index (PLI) in the water samples, suspended sediment samples (TSS), and sediment at the bottom of the surface will be taken at each point for laboratory testing using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). The concentration of heavy metals for Cu and Cr in the surface sediment respectively was found higher than its concentration in the river water. Meanwhile, Pb contents are found higher in river water. The contents of heavy metals are found less in the suspended sediment samples. The Er and PLI shows low pollution risk and low pollution status, respectively. It indicates that the Code River was still in low pollution status for Cu, Cr, and Pb contamination. On the other hand, the water quality analysis results Cu and Pb over the Water Quality Standard for Class 2. This study may serve as a useful reference and baseline for heavy metals research in Winongo River historically.

Quality wines are produced in our country. The main objective of this paper was identification of toxic matter, heavy metals and minerals in wines as final produce, with a view of improving nutritional quality of our wines, produced in 2008-2009.Another important fact for this research was the determination of the presence of remnants from protective solutions containing toxic elements (Cu and Pb)[1].[1] Evgjini Papazisi Tonin Rjolli Dr. Abdul Sinani "Food Technology and Environ-mental Protection (Teknologji ushqimore dhe mbrojtje mjedisi1)".
