Sungai Cisadane memiliki fungsi penting bagi kehidupan manusia dan makhluk hidup lain disekitarnya. Berbagai jenis aktivitas manusia mulai dari pertanian, perikanan, pemukiman, pariwisata, perkebunan, transportasi hingga berbagai aktivitas industri terjadi di sepanjang Sungai Cisadane. Berbagai aktivitas tersebut menyebabkan penurunan kualitas air Sungai Cisadane setiap tahunnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsentrasi serta sebaran spasial logam berat Pb dan Cd pada kolom air dan sedimen di perairan muara Cisadane, Tangerang, Banten. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan sebanyak 1 kali yaitu pada tanggal 15 Januari 2017, sampel yang diambil berupa air dan sedimen, dan pengukuran parameter fisika kimia perairan. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di 9 stasiun pengamatan yang ditentukan berdasarkan adanya aktivitas industri disekitar perairan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan metode sampling menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran logam berat Pb dan Cd mengacu pada metode SNI dengan spektrofotometer AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). Hasil pengukuran konsentrasi logam berat Pb pada kolom air yaitu berkisar antara <0,001 hingga <0,01 mg/l dan konsentrasi logam berat Cd pada kolom air yaitu <0,002 mg/l. Sedangkan konsentrasi logam berat Pb pada sedimen berkisar antara <0,01 hingga 52,8040 mg/kg dan konsentrasi logam berat Cd pada sedimen yaitu <0,002 mg/kg. Apabila dilihat dari gambaran sebaran spasial logam berat Pb dan Cd di air dan sedimen, dapat disimpulkan bahwa logam berat Pb dan Cd di perairan muara Cisadane tersebar di seluruh stasiun penelitian, tetapi masih tergolong rendah konsentrasinya dan sebagian besar masih berada di bawah baku mutu yang telah ditetapkan. The Cisadane River has an important function for human life and other living things around it. Various types of human activities from agriculture, fisheries, settlements, tourism, plantations, transportation to various industrial activities occur along the Cisadane River. These activities has caused the decrease in the water quality of the Cisadane River each year. The purpose of this research is to know the concentration and spatial distribution of heavy metals Pb and Cd on water column and sediment in the waters of Cisadane estuary, Tangerang, Banten. Sampling was conducted once on January 15, 2017, samples taken in the form of water and sediment, and measurement of water chemistry physics parameters. Sampling was conducted at 9 observation stations determined based on the existence of industrial activity around the waters. The method used is descriptive method of sampling method using purposive sampling technique. Measurements of heavy metals Pb and Cd referring to the ISO method with a spectrophotometer AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). The result of measurement of heavy metal concentration of Pb in the water column is between <0,001 to <0,01 mg/l and concentration of heavy metal Cd in water column that is <0,002 mg/l. While concentrations of Pb heavy metals in sediments ranged from <0.01 to 52.8040 mg/kg and concentrations of heavy metal Cd in sediments ie <0.002 mg/kg. When viewed from the description of the spatial distribution of heavy metals of Pb and Cd in water and sediment, it can be concluded that there are heavy metals of Pb and Cd in the waters of Cisadane estuary scattered throughout the research station, but still relatively low concentration and most are still below the standard which has been set.
