“…Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh akumulasi merkuri berdasarkan jumlah toksisitas pada manusia, yang bergantung pada bentuk komposisi, jalur yang digunakan untuk masuk ke dalam tubuh, dan lama paparan. 16 Penelitian Hasriwiani H.A dalam penelitiannya menemukan adanya hubungan antara konsentrasi merkuri total dengan gejala neurologis (Pearson, r =−0,49; p= 0,004). Gejala umum pada kelompok kontrol adalah tremor pada lidah, kelopak mata, hidung jari, dan tes Romberg mencapai 62% kejadian, sedangkan yang paling sering adalah tes gerakan mata yang tidak teratur, bidang penglihatan, refleks sentakan lutut dan refleks bisep.…”

Latar belakang: Menggunakan merkuri pada proses amalgamasi dapat menyebabkan gejala neurologis pada penambang emas tradisional. Penelitian awal ditemukan 5 orang bergejala neurologis. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan pajanan merkuri dengan gejala neurologis penambang emas tradisional di Kecamatan Mantikulore Kota Palu.Metode: Merupakan penelitian observasi analitik dengan metode kuantitatif dan desain cross-sectional. Populasi adalah penambang emas tradisional di Kecamatan Mantikulore Kota Palu. Subjek penelitian adalah rambut 41 penambang emas tradisional di Kecamatan Mantikulore Kota Palu. Data diperoleh dengan wawancara dan pengukuran sampel rambut responden yang diukur di laboratorium dengan metode ICP-MS. Data dinalisis menggunakan SPSS dengan uji-square untuk melihat ada tidaknya hubungan antar variabel.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukan kadar merkuri rambut responden ditemukan terendah 0,8038 µg/gr dan tertinggi 99,6737 µg/g dengan rata-rata 9,76 µg/g. Menurut WHO, ambang batas kadar Hg di rambut adalah 2 ppm. Penambang emas tradisonal di Kecamatan Mantikulore Kota Palu telah mengalami gejala neurologis berjumlah 63% yaitu sakit kepala, pelupa, mudah lelah, tremor, mati rasa, kesulitan berkosentrasi. Variabel yang berhubungan signifikan dengan gejala neurologis yaitu kadar merkuri 26(81,3%) dengan p-value=0,001, masa kerja >5 tahun ada 18(81,8%) dengan p-value=0,047, lama kerja >8 jam/hari 17(85,0%) dengan p-value=0,028, frekwensi pajanan >4 kali/hari 14(87,5%) dengan p-value=0,045, usia>40 tahun 14 (87,5%) dengan p-value=0,45.Analisis multivariat menjelaskan variabel yang sangat berisiko menimbulkan gejala neurologis pada penambang emas tradisional yaitu kadar merkuri rambut dan masa kerja.Simpulan: Ada hubungan signifikan antara kadar mercuri, masa kerja, lama kerja, frekuensi pajanan dan usia dengan gejala neurologis pada penambang emas tradisional di Kecamatan Manticulore, Kota Palu. ABSTRACTTitle: The Relatinship Between Mercury Exposure and Neurological Symptoms On Traditional Gold Miners in Mantikulore District, Palu CityBackground: Using mercury in amalgamation can cause neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners. Preliminary research found five people with neurological symptoms. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mercury exposure and neurological symptoms of conventional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City.Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional design. The population is traditional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City. The research subject was the hair of 41 convenstional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City. Data were obtained by interviewing and measuring respondents' hair samples in the laboratory using the ICP-MS method. Data were analyzed using SPSS with a chi-square to see whether there was a relationship between the variables. Results: Measurement of mercury levels in respondents' hair found the lowest was 0.8038 µg/gr, and the highest was 99.6737 µg/g. Traditional gold miners in Mantikulore Subdistrict, Palu City, experienced neurological symptoms totaling 63%, namely headaches, forgetfulness, fatigue, tremors, numbness, difficulty concentrating. Independent variables have a significant relationship (α=0.05) with neurological symptoms, namely, concentration s of mercury 26(81.3%) of respondents with p-value=0,001, year’s of service >5 years, 18(81.8%) of respondents with p-value=0.047, length of work > 8 hours/day, 17( 85.0%) of respondents p-value= 0.028, frequency of exposure >4 times/day 14(87.5%) of respondentswith with p-value=0.045, age >40 year’s 14 (87,5%) of respondent with p-value=0,045. Analysis multivariate describes the variables that are very at risk of causing neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners, namely hair mercury levels and years of service.Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between mercury levels, year’s of service, length of work frequency of exposure, and age, with neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners in Mantikulore sub-district, Palu city.

“…12. Irwan Mulyadi, et al (2021) Dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa kadar merkuri tertinggi, terendah, dan ratarata yang diperoleh dari sampel rambut penambang adalah 8,72 μg/kg, 1,42 μg/kg, dan 3,06 μg/kg. Tingginya kadar merkuri dalam sampel rambut penambang dipengaruhi oleh lamanya paparan dan masa kerja.…”

Mercury is one of the heavy metals with high toxicity and is included in the class of neurotoxic substances that can cause various damage to tissue and nerve cells. The proper use of biomarkers in blood, urine and hair can determine the effectiveness of the mercury poisoning examination in the laboratory. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of mercury poisoning examination using biological samples. Method: This study used a literature review with online database sources from the search engine Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar. Result, The cause of mercury poisoning was through the use of mercury in various industrial fields, mining activities, consumption of fish, shellfish and water that had been contaminated with mercury. Examination of mercury poisoning with blood and urine biomarkers was the main choice for acute exposure due to the direct use of mercury, especially in the work environment. Hair biomarkers were the main choice for chronic exposure, mainly fish consumption. The length of working time and the frequency of fish consumption had a significant influence on the high levels of mercury in the body, where the longer and more mercury exposure, the more risk a person was to experience mercury poisoning. Mercury levels in the blood can be detected within 2-3 days, in urine one week after exposure, and in hair, levels are persistent in the long term. Conclusion: The effectiveness of mercury poisoning examination using biological samples depends on the type and duration of exposure, where short-term exposure to high concentrations uses blood and urine biomarkers and long-term exposure using hair biomarkers.
