Tingkat Pencemaran Perairan Teluk Banten Berdasarkan Beberapa Parameter Fisika Perairan

Abstract

Aktivitas antropogenik di sekitar kawasan perairan Teluk Banten dapat membawa limbah tercemar ke dalam perairan. Sehingga dapat memengaruhi kualitas perairan. Penelitian status mutu suatu perairan penting dilakukan untuk menduga kondisi pencemaran suatu perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan tingkat pencemaran perairan Teluk Banten melalui pendekatan beberapa parameter fisika perairan. Data yang digunakan ialah data primer dan sekunder tahun 2019- 2022 dari enam lokasi penelitian. Parameter yang dianalisis antara lain suhu, kecerahan, kekeruhan, dan padatan tersuspensi (TSS). Hasil analisis yang diperoleh dibandingkan dengan baku mutu berdasarkan PP No 22 Tahun 2021. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan suhu (25.1-39ᵒC), kecerahan (0.05-10 m), kekeruhan (0.24-380 NTU), TSS (0.4-742 mg/l), menunjukan bahwa sebagian parameter masih tergolong dibawah baku mutu beberapa parameter kurang sesuai dengan baku mutu perairan (antara lain suhu, kecerahan, kekeruhan, TSS). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan indeks pencemaran perairan Teluk Banten memiliki indeks pencemaran kategori tercemar ringan (1.315-4.490).

Anthropogenic activities around the waters of Banten Bay can bring polluted waste into the waters. So that it can affect water quality. Research on the quality status of a waters is important to do to predict the pollution conditions of a waters. This study aims to determine the pollution level of Banten Bay waters through the approach of several water physics parameters. The data used are primary and secondary data for 2019-2022 from six research locations. Parameters analyzed included temperature, brightness, turbidity, and suspended solids (TSS). The results of the analysis obtained were compared with the quality standards based on PP No. 22 of 2021. Based on the results of observations of temperature (25.1-39ᵒC), brightness (0.05-10 m), turbidity (0.24-380 NTU), TSS (0.4-742 mg/l) , shows that some of the parameters are still below the quality standards, some parameters are not in accordance with the water quality standards (among others temperature, brightness, turbidity, TSS). Based on the results of the calculation of the water pollution index, Banten Bay has a pollution index of the lightly polluted category (1.315-4.490).
