Asian green mussel is a marine animal that is used as food by most Indonesians. The mussels are widely cultivated in tropical countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and other Asian countries. The mussel, known as perna viridis, is marine biota that is a filter feeder in the waters. Therefore, the quality of its meat is greatly influenced by the quality of the sea in its habitat. It is a food that is quite popular with the community but can endanger public health due to the accumulation of heavy metals. This study used a literature review by collecting data related to heavy metal concentrations in green mussel tissue in Indonesia. The results showed that the mussels from several sampling locations still exceeded the maximum acceptable limits of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) concentration according to the standards of the food and drug administration of the Republic of Indonesia. Consumption of green mussels can increase health risks if you frequently consume them from cultivating or catching locations that have been contaminated with heavy metals.

Abstract. In August and September 2002, concentrations of heavy metals (copper, lead, and zinc) were 21-74% more than in previous years in Lithuanian rivers. Such a sudden increase in heavy metal pollution reduces the value of any water body for fishing or recreation and poses a potential risk to the environment and to human health. Droughts in the summer of 2002 led to forest and peat bog fires all over Lithuania and may have caused the increase in concentrations of heavy metals detected in Lithuanian rivers in August 2002. The fires could have changed the pH in the top layers of the soil, overcome geochemical barriers in the soil and enabled heavy metals to migrate from the soil to the groundwater and from river bottom sediments to the surface water. Keywords: heavy metals, river water quality, Lithuania

The Musi River is one of the biggest river of twelve big rivers in South Sumatra Province. Water quality of this river affects the water quality in the estuary and biological health in its surrounding so that it is important to determine the Cu and Pb concentrations. The purposes of this study were to analize distribution of heavy metals (Cu and Pb) and to determine the water quality status in March and September 2014. The water and sediment samples were collected from eight stations along the Musi River from downstream to the estuary. Heavy metal concentration was analized by employing USEPA 30050B method using AAS Spektra plus variant with air mixure flame – acetylene. Dissolved Cu and Pb concentrations in March were 0,002 - 0,006 mg/l and 0,002-0,003 mg/l, respectively, while in September were 0,001-0,010 mg/lfor Cu and 0,001-0,005 mg/lfor Pb. Cu and Pb concentrations in sediment detected in March were 6,92-16,4 mg/l and 1,9-11,4 mg/l, respectively, while in September were  2,3-13,9 mg/l for Cu and 4,29-9,95 mg/l for Pb. Student test analysis showed that was no significant differences between Pb and Cu concentrations (dissolved and sediment) between March and September. Generally, the concentration of heavy metals Cu and Pb in Musi River estuary were still below specified quality standards.Keywords: heavy metal, Cu, Pb, the Musi River, estuary

Logam berat merupakan variabel penting dalam penelaahan keamanan produk kekerangan. Namun, kuantifikasinya membutuhkan tingkat kesiapan analis dan peralatan laboratorium yang modern. Hal ini mendorong usulan berbagai metode penapisan High-throughput Screening seperti komposisi asam amino, sebagai penanda kimia pada penapisan tahap awal dari kontaminasi logam berat di biota kekerangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fisibilitas komposisi asam amino yang terkandung pada produk kekerangan, sebagai penanda kimia akumulasi logam berat. Biota kerang bernilai ekonomis, yaitu kerang hijau (Perna viridis), dipilih sebagai target yang diambil dari tiga lokasi budidaya di Perairan Cirebon (sisi utara, perairan kota, dan sisi timur). Kadar logam berat (Cr, Co, Cu, As, Cd, Hg, dan Pb) dianalisis mempergunakan ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry), sementara kandungan asam amino ditelaah dengan kromatografi gas yang dilengkapi Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Hasil pengujian memperlihatkan bahwa kadar tertinggi dari tiap logam berat pada P. viridis adalah 0,25 mg/kg (Cr); 0,2 mg/kg (Co); 2,1 mg/kg (Cu); 1,5 mg/kg (As); 0,25 mg/kg (Cd); 0,25 mg/kg (Hg); dan 0,1 mg/kg (Pb). Nilai ini masih memenuhi persyaratan baku mutu, kecuali kadar arsen. Pengujian statistika korespondensi menunjukkan bahwa kadar asam amino kerang hijau dapat mengalami pergeseran komposisi yang tergantung pada tipe, variasi, dan kuantifikasi akumulasi logam beratnya. Oleh karena itu, tidak ada satupun jenis asam amino tertentu yang dapat dijadikan sebagai penanda kimia umum dari akumulasi berbagai jenis logam berat. Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk menemukan faktor pembanding menggunakan senyawa tertentu yang dapat melengkapi rasio komposisi asam amino sebagai penanda kimia dari akumulasi logam berat pada biota kekerangan.ABSTRACTHeavy metals are important factor in the food safety analysis of marine mussels. However, heavy metal quantification requires factors an adequate analyst and modern laboratory equipment. Therefore, various high throughput screening methods have been proposed, such as the composition of amino acids as a marker in a preliminary screening of heavy metal contamination in marine mussels. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of amino acids composition in marine mussels as a chemical marker of heavy metal accumulation. The commercial marine mussels, Green Mussels (Perna viridis), were collected from three aquaculture sites in Cirebon Waters (north side, in front of the city, and east side). Heavy metals content (Cr, Co, Cu, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) was analyzed by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) technique while the amino acids content was analyzed using gas chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Results of this study showed that the maximum value of each heavy metal in P. viridis were 0.25 mg/kg (Cr); 0.2 mg/kg (Co); 2.1 mg/kg (Cu); 1.5 mg/kg (As); 0.25 mg/kg (Cd); 0.25 mg/kg (Hg); and 0.1 mg/kg (Pb). Except for arsenic, these values were below the allowable threshold level. Correspondence analysis showed that the composition of amino acids in the green mussels was shifted, according to the type, variation, and quantification of the accumulated heavy metals. Therefore, none of the amino acids can be used as a general chemical marker for various types of heavy metals. Further research can be done to identify a particular comparative compound that can complement the ratio of amino acids composition as biomarkers for heavy metals accumulation in marine mussels.

Heavy metal pollution is one of the problems that continue to occur in Indonesia which is very important because it is non-degradable, persistent, and can accumulate in the bodies of living things. Heavy metal in the water is usually present in low concentrations but human activity shall increase. Saguling Reservoir is one of the largest manmade lake in West Java Province which has experienced water contamination. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of sediments related to the pollution of four heavy metals ie Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb contained in Saguling Reservoir sediment using CF, MPI, Igeo and PERI methods in the rainy and dry seasons.Sediment samples are taken in twelve points around the reservoir by 2015-2017. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the sediment quality of Saguling Reservoir has been contaminated by heavy metals Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb. This is caused by human activity in the water catchment area of the reservoir. Based on the results of the analysis of sediment quality using Igeo and CF the sediment of Saguling Reservoir has been polluted by heavy metals, specifically Cd in the rainy and dry seasons. The result of assessment of sediment quality by MPI method can be concluded that the sediment of Saguling Reservoir as a whole has been contaminated by Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb. Based on calculations using PERI method, the sediment quality of Saguling Reservoir has contaminated Cd with serious ecological risk category during rainy and dry season, contaminated with Cr and Pb with low grade ecologogical risk category during rainy and dry season, has been contaminated with Cu with low grade ecological risk in the rainy season and moderate ecological risk in the dry season. Based on the results of this study that the Cd must be cautioned carefully, because of the highest concentration in the rainy and dry season than three other heavy metals.

Abstract Green mussel is a type of shellfish that is widely consumed by humans. Excessive consumption of green mussels can be harmful to health because they are prone to contain heavy metals. One of the methods to reduce the heavy metal content of green mussels is to use citric acid in the pineapple solution. The Green mussel was soaked in pineapple solution for 30 min, 60 min and 90 min. The content of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and As was analyzed by ICP-MS. The results showed that after soaking green mussels in pineapple solution for 30 minutes, they reduced 85% Pb, 80,95% Cd, and 53,23% As. The duration of soaking green mussels in pineapple solution for 30 minutes overall had a better quality than soaking for 60 and 90 minutes, with a moisture content of 74,43 + 0,39 (%), protein content 15,21 + 0,35 (%), pH level 6,74 + 0,10, organoleptic with a confidence interval of 7,48<μ< 7,54.
