Mercury and cyanide were detected in sediments of the Cikaniki River, with levels above environmental standards after illegal mining activities.
At the most downstream site in Lukut Village, both total dissolved solids and total suspended solids concentrations indicated pollution due to mercury waste.
This research employed a purposive sampling method at three locations to evaluate water and sediment quality post illegal mining.
Findings suggest ongoing pollution from illegal mining impacts even locations distant from direct mining activities, warranting further investigation.
