Abstract :

Benowo landfills potentially produce the leachate both permeating into the ground and flowing on the ground surface. Leachate came from the garbage decomposition increasing pollution level of the fishpond water around the landfills. Mercury is easily undergone on fishes living at the location that can endanger the human health because of its consumption.The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation of the leachate pollution to the fish mercury level and the consumer health. This was an observational analysis study with cross sectional approach. The mercury level in the outlet have exceeded the mercury standard value in the industrial waste water disposed to the irrigation system that is as 0.005 mg/l (Government of Surabaya, East Java Regulation No. 45/2002 about Water and Waste Water Quality Controll). The distance was the determinant factor affecting the mercury level of the fishes lived in fishpond, the farer the fishpond from the waste landfills, the smaller the mercury pollution in the fishes. The average mercury level on nail’s respondent was 0.0013 mg/kg and on common people was 0.00037 mg/kg. Therefore contaminated the mercury level have correlation to any health disturbances such as vertigo, dermatitis allergic, tremors and eye disease (Pearson correlation test, p<0.05 respectively).
