“…What are the real effects of illegal mining on the environment and public health? To answer this question, we added quantitative data for our sample sites, drawn from the results of secondary-source studies undertaken in the past ten years at several gold-mining sites in Indonesia [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. The environmental impacts and health threats from illegal mining operations can be seen in Figure 7 .…”

Artisanal Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) activities, despite offering numerous economic incentives, inflict negative impacts on the environment and public health due to the use of mercury or cyanide. This study aims to compare three ASGM locations in Indonesia in terms of environmental impacts and potential health problems in the community. As part of this research, field surveys at three ASGM illegal locations with different conditions, observations, literature studies, and interviews with the community and stakeholders were conducted. At each of the survey sites, the potential threat to public health due to the use of mercury was determined to be high. Additionally, many of the environmental impacts detected were deemed to have reached a high-alert stage, in some cases even posing a level of extreme danger. Based on these results, it has become clear that a form of mining management which reduces the negative impacts on the surrounding environment and community health is needed. The suggestions put forward in this paper, including the call for greater control of ASGM, may also be applied in other developing countries which suffer from similar problems and conditions.

“…Untuk masyarakat menambang dengan menggunakan dulang ini dikenal juga sebagai artisanal. Seperti juga perusahaan pertambangan raksasa, masyarakat yang menambang ini juga dituding sebagai sumber terjadinya degradasi lingkungan, mulai dari rusaknya bentang alam, lenyapnya vegetasi permukaan, meningkatnya erosi, bahkan peristiwa banjir dan kekeringan, dan sejumlah kerusakan lingkungan lainnya (Sofia & Husodo, 2017). Meskipun dianggap termasuk sebagai pemicu peristiwa degradasi lingkungan, ancaman yang paling serius dari mereka ternyata adalah adanya pencemaran merkuri, pencemaran ini terjadi sebagai akibat para Journal Of Khairun Community Services (JKC) Website: http://ejournal.unkhair.ac.id/index.php/jkc E-ISSN: 2809 -1647 penambang (dalam hal ini adalah penambang emas primer) tersebut menggunakan merkuri dalam usaha memisahkan emas dari material pembawanya (Chamid, Chusharini, 2002), Selanjutnya merkuri yang tercampur dengan air buangan kemudian mencemari air tanah dan Sungai, bahkan pada tahun 2008 penambang artisanal dianggap sebagai salah satu dari sepuluh penyebab terjadinya pencemaran terparah terbesar di dunia (Gustin, 2014).…”

Pertambangan sering dianggap sebagai salah satu kegiatan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan dan perbaikan kualitas hidup. Namun disisi lain kegiatan penambangan emas yang menggunakan bahan kimia berbahaya dapat pula berdampak negatif, pada kegiatan usaha penambangan emas skala kecil (PESK), pengolahan bijih emas dilakukan dengan proses amalgamasi dimana Merkuri (Hg) digunakan sebagai media untuk mengikat emas. Banyak kegiatan penambangan yang mengundang sorotan masyarakat sekitarnya karena pengrusakan lingkungan, apalagi untuk kegiatan pertambangan rakyat, selain merusak lingkungan juga membahayakan jiwa penambang. Pemerintah Republik Indonesia menetapkan Peraturan Presiden No. 21 Tahun 2019 tentang Rencana Aksi Nasional Pengurangan dan Penghapusan Merkuri (RAN-PPM). Target dari PKM ini adalah adanya transfer pengetahuan tentangbahaya merkuri bagi Kesehatan, lingkungan dan secara hukum merkuri merupakan barang illegal, Kegiatan-kegiatan yang dapat dilakukan untuk penghapusan merkuri di sektor PESK, antara lain adanya regulasi/kebijakan pemerintah, alih teknologi pengolahan emas, alih mata pencaharian, dan sosialisasi stop penggunaan merkuri. Kegiatan yang dilaksanakan ini adalah sosialisasi bahaya penggunaan merkuri kepada masyarakat. Kelompok sasaran kampanye di Desa Air Mangga meliputi guru dan siswa SDN 285 Halsel (Kelas 4, 5, dan 6), masyarakat terdampak PESK, dan tenaga polindes dan kader, melalui kegiatan ini diharapkan pesan mengenai bahaya merkuri bagi kesehatan,lingkungan, hukum serta kerugian ekonomi dapat dipahami, sehingga kedepannya dapat merubah perilaku untuk tidak menggunakan merkuri dalam pengolahan emas.

Illegal gold mining is a mining activity using traditional methods. Mining activities in the traditional way process mining products using the amalgamation process. In the amalgamation process, gold is bound by adding mercury and the waste from the amalgamation process which may still contain mercury is discharged into the environment. It can have an impact on the accumulation of mercury in humans, especially the miners either directly or through the food chain. This study aims to determine the amount of mercury concentration that has accumulated in miners' hair in relation to the frequency of fish consumption. The sampling method is done by random sampling method in five sub-districts in Parigi Moutong Regency. Fish consumption frequency data was taken by filling out questionnaires by respondents (miners). Analysis of mercury content in hair samples was carried out using the Mercury Analyzer NIC MA-3000. The results showed that the concentration of mercury in miners in all sub-districts exceeded the quality standard set by USEPA, which was above 1 mg/Kg. The highest mercury content was found in the miner's hair in Moutong District which was 3.48 mg/kg, while the lowest mercury content was found in the miner’s hair in Kasimbar District which was 1.06 mg/kg. Based on these results, the gold miners in the five sub-districts have been contaminated with mercury. A correlation value above 0.5 indicates a correlation between fish consumption and mercury concentrations in hair, thereby it can be said that the source of mercury exposure to miners can also come from the fish they consume.
