Merkuri merupakan salah satu logam berat berbahaya diantara logam berat lainya seperti Timbal (Pb), Arsenik (As), Kadmium (Cd), Kromium (Cr) dan Nikel (Ni). Merkuri memiliki sifat beracun yang sangat kuat diketahui dapat terakumulasi dan tetap berada di dalam tubuh mahluk hidup dalam jangka waktu yang lama sebagai racun yang terakumukasi. Penelitian ini di lakukan untuk mengetahui kandungan merkuri pada tanah dan Umbi tanaman ubi kayu (Manihot esculenta Crantz) di daerah pertambangan Desa Soyowan Minahasa Tenggara. Dengan menggunakan Metode Purposive Random Sampling. Pengambilan sampel terbagi atas tiga stasiun dengan tiga kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan merkuri dalam tanah tidak terdeteksi oleh alat AAS (Atomic ansorption Spectrometry) karena kandungan merkuri pada tanah terlampau kecil, sedangkan pada sampel umbi tanaman ubi kayu memiliki kandungan merkuri yaitu 0,1414 ppm. Konsentrasi merkuri (Hg) melebihi ambang batas sehingga tanaman pada Stasiun II tidak layak lagi untuk dikonsumsiMercury is one of the heavy metals containing other heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni). Mercury has very strong and accountable characteristics and remains in living things for a long time as an educated conversation. Manihot esculenta Crantz in the Mining Area of Soyowan Village, Southeast Minahasa. By using the Purposive Random Sampling method, sampling was divided into three stations with three replications. The results showed that the mercury content in the soil could not be found by the AAS tool because the mercury content in the soil was too small, whereas the tuber samples of cassava plants had a mercury content of 0.1414 ppm. excessive mercury (Hg)  concentration threshold so plants at Station II are no longer suitable for consumption

<strong>Mercury Content in Commercial Fishes of Bantul Areas and Yogyakarta. </strong> Mercury Content in Commercial Fishes of Bantul Areas and Yogyakarta Fish is an important energy source for the body and has many functions for human health. Hence, the fish are highly favored for consumption by the public. However, the fish has the ability to accumulate heavy metals. One type of dangerous heavy metals and can accumulate in fish is mercury because it has high toxicity at low concentrations. The presence of contaminants from anthropogenic activities that are not processed previously, makes the fish a potential hoarder for heavy metals. This study examined the concentration of mercury in freshwater fish and saltwater fish consumed by the people of Bantul areas and Yogyakarta. Fish samples were collected on 29–30 August 2015 from Prawirotaman Market, supermarket, Embankment on the River Code, and purchased from fishermen in Depok Beach. Analysis of mercury concentrations in fish was done using mercury analyzer NIC MA-3000. The results indicated that the fish with the eating habits of benthivore and planktivore accumulated higher mercury than omninore and carnivore fish. The concentration of mercury in the fish examined does not exceed the threshold of the WHO standard, BPOM-RI, and European Union standards. However, the people need to be alert on mercury bioaccumulative properties, especially when consuming the fish having accumulated mercury continuously for a long time.

Abstract The local community has managed peatlands for a long time with various commodities and levels of management. The success of farming in peatland requires the seriousness of farmers and proper land management to produce peatland’s high productivity and sustainability, including farmer’s competence. The research aims to analyze farmers’ competence in peatland farming and identify factors that influence farmers’ competence in peatland management. The research was conducted from August to October 2017 in Rasau Jaya Dua Village, Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. The selection of 48 respondents was made by a simple random sampling method. Primary data, including characteristics of respondents and farmer’s competence in peatland management, were collected through interviews using questionnaires and field observations. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the correlation test of Rank Spearman. The results showed that the farmers’ competence level in peatland farming in Rasau Jaya Dua Village was moderate. Factors that must be considered to develop the farming competence in peatland are age, motivation, and interaction with extension workers. Increasing the farming competence of farmers in peatland management can be achieved through improving the interaction between farmers and extension workers.

The process of extracting gold using mercury (Hg) carried out by Nusa Halmahera Minerals industries (PT. NHM) as well as by the community of illegal gold mining or gold mining without a permit (PETI) that occurs in the mining area of ​​Halmahera Island can have a negative impact on the aquatic environment. This study aims to determine the mercury absorption in mangrove roots of Rhizopora sp and Telescopium telescopium at two different stations. Sampling of mangrove roots was repeated 3 times for each station. Differences in the accumulation of heavy metals Hg in the roots of Rhizophora sp were analyzed using the T-test. The study showed that the concentration of mercury in the roots of Rhizophora sp ranged from 0.016 – 0.026 mg/kg and there were differences in root absorption between Rhizopora sp at station 1 of the Tabobo River mangrove near the PETI disposal and station 2 at the mining industry waste disposal. The concentration of mercury in Telescopium telescopium ranged from 0.08 - 0.15 mg/kg.  It is indicates that Telescopium telescopium in Kao Teluk has been contaminated with mercury but is still below the threshold of the quality standard that has been set.

The correct estimation of the mineral content of cassava (Manihot esculenta) genotypes is vital from a nutritional point of view. This study evaluated the effects of the storage root section, maturity, and sampling method on the macro- and microelements in yellow-fleshed cassava root genotypes. In total, 44 genotypes were grown in replicated field trials of 2 sets (set 25 and set 19) and were harvested at 9 and 12 months after planting. Two sampling methods, sampling with a cork borer (A = proximal, B = middle, C = distal or method 1) and sampling without a cork borer (L = Longitudinal or method 2), were used. The minerals of the samples from the two methods were determined using inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). K and Mn were the most abundant minerals, and Na, Mo, and Co were the least abundant. Genotype, method, and maturity had a strong influence on mineral concentrations. Harvesting time affected the concentration level of some macro- and microelements in cassava roots. Additionally, Ca, Mg, K, P, Mn, Cu, Ni, and Zn contents were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the proximal and middle portions for method 1. K and P and Mn and B were positively correlated, but K and Na and Fe and Ni were negatively associated.
