Abstract:The Baturusa estuary receives inputs of organic and inorganic materials from several human activities along the river. The characteristics of heavy metals such as toxicity, resistance to decomposition, and ability to accumulate in aquatic biota can indirectly have a negative impact on the health of humans who consume marine biota. The research was conducted with the aim of studying the geochemical characteristics and assessing the level of heavy metal contamination of Cd, Cu and Zn in the sediments of the Batu… Show more
