ANALISIS KANDUNGAN KADMIUM (Cd) DALAM UDANG WINDU (Penaeus monodon) YANG BERADA DI TAMBAK SEKITAR TEMPAT PEMBUANGAN AKHIR (TPA) SAMPAH KELURAHAN TERJUN KOTA MEDAN TAHUN 2014
Abstract: Exposure of heavy
metals from various sources into aquatic environment will have a negative
impact to aquatic organisms, even below threshold limited value. Open dumping
management system that is used on landfill site at Kelurahan Terjun could cause
the exposure of one of toxicant heavy metal, Cadmium (Cd), through the leachate
to the shrimp farm located near the landfill site. The exposure of this
toxicant heavy metal could harmfully affect aquatic organisms around the
landfill site.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the cadmium concentrations in
shrimp samples collected from the shrimp farm, located near the landfill site.
The study location in shrimp farm near landfill site at Kelurahan Terjun Kota
Medan.
The type of this study was descriptive, samples of this study were
shrimps and water of shrimp farm which were collected in certain range :13 m,
57 m and 82 m from the landfill site. Data were analyzed descriptively in
tables and naration.
The study found that concentrations of cadmium in these contaminated
water was 0,01296 mg/L to 0,01474 mg/L, higher than threshold limited value,
while rates of cadmium accumulation on shrimp were measured at 0,12951 mg/kg,
approximately equivalent to the minimum risk concentration. The shrimp
accumulated cadmium concentration, commensurate with increases in the
concentration of cadmium in water and the duration of exposure.
Accumulation of heavy metals in
aquatic organisms such as shrimp needed continuous monitoring and surveillance
owing to biomagnifying potential of toxic heavy metals (Cd). Suggested to Kota
Medan government was to change management system that is used on landfill site
with sanitary landfill system.
