ANALISA LOGAM BESI (Fe) DI SUNGAI PASAR DAERAH BELANGWETAN KLATEN DENGAN METODE SPEKTROFOTOMETRI SERAPAN ATOM
Abstract: Iron (Fe) is one of
many heavy metals that is corrosive resistant, dense, and has a low melting
point. If accumulated in the body, the metal can cause some medical conditions,
such as irritation to skin and eyes, breathing problems, and in the long term,
cancer. This research aims to know generally the spread of metallic iron (Fe)
in the river Pasar in Belangwetan, Klaten. This study was conducted using an
observational method in which researchers did not examine the effects of
interventions. Sampling was done using purposive sampling method taken from
three points, namely the upper, middle, lower. Determination of iron levels by
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) obtained a positive result, and the
data was processed using SPSS to determine the Mean and Standard Deviation. Of
the research result, it could be known the Mean score was 2.33 ppm and SD was
0.0352. The result of this research indicated that the levels of iron in the
river Pasar in Belangwetan were 2.33 ppm. It means that the levels violate the
regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, which is not
more than 1mg/L (1ppm) in the clean water
Keywords: iron (Fe), Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, River
