Kajian Kelayakan Konsumsi Daging Kerang Kapah (Meretrix lyrata) Berdasarkan Kandungan Logam Berat Timbal (Pb), Tembaga (Cu), dan Besi (Fe) di Pantai Labu, Kabupaten Deli Serdang

Abstract

This study aims to determine the content of heavy metals Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe) in White Clam (Meretrix lyrata) meat, to determine the management of White Clam (Meretrix lyrata) meat contaminated with heavy metals by calculating the feasibility of clam meat. White Clam (Meretrix lyrata) against heavy metals Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe). Measurement of the content of heavy metals Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe) using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The content of heavy metals Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe) in the meat of Kapah Shells (Meretrix lyrata) in Pantai Labu Waters respectively was 4.345; 1.194; 7.11mg/kg. Based on the heavy metal content, the Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI) was calculated for White Clam Meat (Meretrix lyrata) in Labu Beach Waters, Deli Serdang Regency, and the maximum amount of White Clam (Meretrix lyrata) meat that could be consumed was based on the heavy metal content Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe) is 0.344; 175.73; 46.86 kg/week.
