Analysis of Water Quality and Cadmium (Cd) Around the Lantebung Coast of Makassar City, Indonesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 05
Abstract
This study aims to determine the water quality and cadmium content around the Lantebung coast, Makassar City. This study is an exploratory study. Water quality measurements were carried out in situ, while seawater cadmium measurements were carried out ex situ. The water quality parameters measured included temperature, pH, and salinity of the waters, while the measurement of cadmium heavy metals refers to the SM APHA 23rd Ed. 3113 B. 2017 method. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis. The results of the study showed that the average water quality such as temperature and salinity of the waters was still classified as good and suitable for the life of aquatic organisms, except that the pH of the waters was still classified as low. Furthermore, the results of cadmium measurements for the three research locations showed that the three locations were not contaminated with the heavy metal cadmium because they had a cadmium value of <0.003 ppm. The water quality on the coast of Lantebung Beach, Makassar City, from the aspect of water quality, namely temperature, pH, and salinity of the water, only the pH of the water is low. Furthermore, from the aspect of cadmium pollution, it is concluded that these waters have not been polluted.
