Abstract
Hg is toxic to living organisms and cause permanent damage to the body when exposing in considerable numbers in a long time. Amalgamation is a gold processing technique on traditional mining community undertaken by utilizing Hg as gold binder. Tailings still contain Hg discharged without treatment first performed, thus contaminating the soil and groundwater. Problem in this study was how the correlation between fish consumption and consumption of agricultural products against blood Hg levels of community. The purpose was to determine the correlation between fish consumption and consumption of agricultural products against blood Hg levels of society. Survey method used a cross sectional design. Recall of food for 3 consecutive days used to measure the level of fish consumption and agricultural communities. The results showed that there were relationship between fish consumption (p=0.0001), a staple food consumption (p=0.002), vegetable consumption (p=0.001), consumption of tubers (p=0.002), and consumption of fruits (p=0.002) with blood Hg level. The conclusion, variables associated with blood Hg levels were consumption of fish, the staple food consumption, vegetable consumption, consumption of tubers, and fruits consumption.
