ANALISA KADMIUM (Cd) PADA AIR SUMUR DI SEKITAR PERSAWAHAN DI DESA MOMPANG KECAMATAN PADANGSIDIMPUAN ANGKOLA JULU KOTA PADANGSIDIMNPUAN TAHUN 2013
Abstract: Water is essential
for life, but in many cases the water used was not always in accordance with
the requirements of health because of the pollution that occurs in water, especially
groundwater contaminated by heavy metal pollutants cadmium (Cd) due to
excessive use of fertilizers in farming.
The objective of the research is to determine the content of cadmium (Cd)
in the wells water and construction of the wells around the rice fields in Desa
Mompang Kecamatan Padangsidimpuan Angkola Julu Kota Padangsidimpuan. This
research used a descriptive survey design to describe the content of cadmium
(Cd) in wells water around the rice fields in qualitative and quantitative
results obtained from laboratory tests based Permenkes RI No.
416/MEN/KES/IX/1990 about terms and Water Quality Monitoring, and used the Hit
Chain. Sample was selected by purposive sampling about 30 wells.
The results showed that all of the well was cadmium (Cd) contented. There
as many as 17 wells (56.7%) did not qualified. Quantitatively in the lowest
well water contained in the well 24 was 0.00276 mg/l and the highest content
found in wells 4 was 0.00684 mg/l. Water conditions and wells construction were
in the intermediate level of contamination of cadmium (Cd) with 60,0%
Researchers had assumed that the entry of cadmium (Cd) into the wells
public in Desa Mompang tanded to increase in wells within <10 meters from
the rice fields to obtain quite high runoff pollution burden derived from the
remnants of phosphate fertilizers that settled and accumulated on the ground
then influenced by the construction of dug wells were unstandarized made
