Abstract

Cadmium heavy metal is one of the heavy metals that is harmful to human health and is widely found in agricultural land with the use of phosphorus-based fertilizers such as in rice fields. The research was conducted in Lape Village, Aesesa District, which produces Inpari and Ciherang varieties of rice. Rice samples were taken directly from the farmers who cultivate the two types of plants. Analysis of cadmium from rice samples using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method and comparing it with the maximum limit of heavy metal contamination in rice set by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 6989.16:2009 . The results showed that the cadmium content in rice was < 0.001 ppm – 0.001 ppm. The content of cadmium in the rice is still below the set standard, this is closely related to soil conditions such as soil pH, C-organic at the study site, where high organic matter conditions affect low cadmium content.
