Abstract

Waste containing heavy metals originating from human activity in Tangerang will go into the waters and tributaries of the Coastal District Tangerang. Heavy metals accumulate in bodies of water, sediment and biota scallop will go into the human body through exposure to direct dermal contact or intake. The purpose of this study to determine the content of Pb and its potential health risk effect The approach taken by the USEPA methods of risk analysis and quantification of health risks from exposure to water and sediment using SEDISOIL risk analysis model developed by the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection. The results of this study indicate that generally, its water quality parameters are still below the quality standard by Minister of the Environment Decree No 51 year 2004. Analysis of health risks for people who move directly (bathing, swimming, fishing) shows the value of RQ > 1, meaning that coastal communities at risk for adverse effects of Pb exposure. Similarly, the results of the analysis of risk through consumption of biota scallop, with RQ values> 1 and ECR > 10-4. It shows that scallop (Placuna placenta) is not suitable for consumption by the public.
