Heavy metal contamination of Batanghari River, Jambi, Indonesia: determination based on sediment enrichment factor value

Batanghari River is the primary source of water for people Jambi. River’s condition nowadays worrying because its color no longer clear. This research focused on determining content heavy metals in River's and sediment. The conducted analysis an ICP-MS to determine level metal (Cu, Cr, Co, Cd, Hg), enrichment factor calculation pollution. value from sediment sample declined with following sequence Cd>Hg>Cu>Cr>Co, 10 pinpoint locations. These indicate a high degree anthropogenic activities along which become entering River. average concentration showed that concentrations Cu, Hg are higher than quality standards have been set, whereas Cr Co still by set PP 22 year 2021.
