Abstract

Formalin is a chemical toxic that is abused as a food preservative and prohibited by the Indonesian government. Thus, there is a need for continuous analysis of foodstuffs that are sold in the market. When food containing formaldehyde is consumed, it will interfere with the metabolism of organs and body systems. This study aimed to analyze the presence and absence of formalin content on Kolang Kaling (Arenga pinnata Merr) and Black Grass Jelly (Mesona palustris BL) sold in Samarinda City Traditional Market, especially Segiri market, Pagi market, and Sungai Dama market. The test of formalin content was performed qualitatively using chromatophilic acid and continued quantitatively using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at the Biochemical MIPA laboratory. The results showed that 9 samples from 18 samples were identified using formalin as a preservative. The levels of formalin obtained were different, the lowest formalin level of 0.0240 mL / L in the Cincau samples (Mesona palustris BL) obtained in the Segiri market and the highest formalin level of 0.0531 mL / L in the kolang kaling sample (Arenga pinnata Merr) obtained on the Pagi market.

Abstract

Farmers in Pucung Kidul Village often use pesticides to eradicate pests, diseases, and weeds on plants. Pesticides contain several kinds of metals, including cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu). High levels of cadmium in the blood can interfere with the process of erythropoiesis and heme synthesis caused by the accumulation of cadmium. While copper poisoning can cause degenerative processes in the brain and cirrhosis of the liver. This research is a descriptive study that aims to measure the levels of cadmium and copper in the blood of farmers in Pucung Kidul Village. Measurements were made using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The sample used in this study was 15 samples obtained by the purposive sampling technique. The results showed that all respondents did not use PPE and 2 respondents with a working period of > 5 years obtained cadmium levels from 15 samples, there was 1 sample with cadmium levels above the threshold, which was 0.047 mg/L. Meanwhile, the copper content of the 15 samples contained 1 sample with the copper content above the threshold, which was 1.27 mg/L. This shows that the proper use of PPE, also years of service, and age can affect blood levels of cadmium and copper. Where the longer the working period, the more exposure that occurs and causes high levels of cadmium and copper in the blood. With the results of this study, it is hoped that farmers will continue to use personal protective equipment (PPE) when using pesticides and wash their hands after using them.
