Gold processing waste contains many chemicals compound such as mercury and cyanide, which may help change the physical character of soil. In this study, the temperature, humidity and soil pH has been measured. Measurements of temperature and soil moisture are carried out using SHT11 sensors directly during gold processing. Measurements were carried out around the pond in three different directions. Each direction has 6 points, spaced 5 m apart. Measurements at one point are carried out for 20-21 hours. The measurement results are then mapped to a contour using Surfer-13. Based on the measurement results, obtained temperature values for all points are in the range 25.2-30.3 °C. While the value of soil moisture around 63.8-89.9%, and the soil pH value ranged from 6.8 to 8.1. The mapping results shows the distribution of temperature, humidity and soil pH with almost the same pattern, where the mercury concentration is linear with soil temperature, and soil pH, but non-linear with soil moisture
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
