AKUMULASI LOGAM BERAT TIMBAL (Pb) DAN TEMBAGA (Cu) PADA IKAN TONGKOL (EUTHYNNUS AFFINIS) DAN IKAN BANDENG (CHANOS CHANOS) DI BEBERAPA PASAR KOTA PALEMBANG
Palembang is one of Indonesia’s major cities and a hub for the growth of modern markets. Markets, as economic institutions, act as drivers of regional economies. This study aimed to analyze the concentrations of heavy metals lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) and milkfish (Chanos chanos) sold in two markets in Palembang City, namely 26 Ilir Market and Jakabaring Market. The research was conducted in March 2025. Fish samples were collected from both markets, then subjected to digestion and analysis using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) to determine Pb and Cu levels in the muscles, gills, and gastrointestinal tract. The results showed that Pb concentrations across all organs of E. affinis ranged from 0.83 to 1.92 mg/kg, hile those in C. chanos ranged from 1.87 to 2.15 mg/kg, indicating that Pb exceeded the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) quality standard limit of 0.3 mg/kg. hile those in C. chanos ranged from 1.87 to 2.15 mg/kg, indicating that Pb exceeded the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) quality standard limit of 0.3 mg/kg. Meanwhile, the Cu concentration in mackerel tuna ranged from 0.38 to 0.86 mg/kg, and in milkfish ranged from 0.13 to 1.47 mg/kg, remining below the BPOM limit (5.0 mg/kg). Based on the Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI), consumption of E. affinis and C. chanos at the observed Cu levels is considered safe, where as Pb content warrants caution, particularly for children due to their lower MTI. This findings indicates that some fish sold in Palembang markets are contaminated with Pb, underscoring the need to strengthen monitoring of fish quality to safeguard public food safety
