Abstract
Fish is a favorite food source that contains amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, selenium and calcium that can maintain the immune system. On the other hand, fish can also absorb and accumulate heavy metals such as Pb, Cr and Cd which can cause toxic effects. Heavy metal contamination in consumed fish has become a global issue especially in developing countries including Indonesia. In 2020, Banyumas Regency (Purwokerto) was the center and largest contributor to freshwater fish production in Central Java Province, whose production reached 3.6 tons or 31% of the total production with a total value of 181.9 billion. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct research related to Pb, Cr, Cd contamination and the level of food safety of consumed freshwater fish sold in the traditional market of Purwokerto city. This study aims to determine the food safety level of freshwater fish consumed in traditional markets in Purwokerto city from contamination by heavy metals Pb, Cd, and Cr. The methods used were a survey method, heavy metal content analysis using AAS, and safety level analysis using EDI, THQ, HI, and TR. The results showed that the concentration of Pb Cd, Cr in pomfret, tilapia and catfish in the Wage, Manis and Pon markets compared to the quality standard is still below so that these concentrations are still in the safe category for consumption. The results of the risk analysis show that the values of EDI, THQ, HI and TR in pomfret, tilapia and catfish in the Wage (PW), Manis (PM) and Pon (PP) markets are still below the threshold or standard both nationally and internationally so that it can be categorized as safe or does not pose a risk to human health.
