Improper use of fertilizers and pesticides could increase the risk of contamination in chili plants. This study aimed to analyze the health risks associated with the consumption of chili peppers containing lead among the community of Sungai Sikai Village, Kerinci Regency. This study applied the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) method. The sample population consisted of 104 respondents from the community of Sungai Sikai Village, Kerinci Regency, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data of intake rates, exposure frequency, exposure duration, and anthropometry of respondents were collected through interviews by using questionnaires. A total of 9 chili samples (10 grams) were taken for lead content analysis. Lead content analysis in chili was performed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results of the study suggested that the average lead concentration in chili peppers was 2.21 mg/kg with a range of 0.52 mg/kg-3.86 mg/kg. Expose analysis on lead intake showed that the ADD value was 1,8910-3 mg/kg/day and the LADD value was 4,9810-4 mg/kg/day. The risk estimate for non-carcinogenic effects suggested that the RQ value is > 1, 3.77, which meant there was a risk of non-carcinogenic effects. Risk estimation for carcinogenic effects showed that the ECR value was ≤ 10-4, which is 4,2410-6, meaning that there was no concern about an increased risk of cancer in Sungai Sikai Village due to lead contamination. The conclusion of this study is that the community in Sungai Sikai Village is at risk of non-carcinogenic health disorders due to lead exposure from consuming chili peppers.
