Abstract

The contamination of farm products by heavy metals can cause a health hazard for humans. The purpose of this study is to identify and to determine the amount of heavy metals content of lead (Pb) from the animal product (meat, liver, and skin) in cattle that grazing in the landfill of Tamangapa of Makassar City based on the standard of Indonesian National Standard number 7387: 2009. The analysis used atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The result of the study showed that 24 samples contained heavy metals of lead (Pb) which two samples from meat, five samples from liver, and three samples from skin showed the level of heavy metals of lead (Pb) exceeded standard quality based on Indonesian National Standard number 7387: 2009 which about 1.0 ppm. The result of Analysis showed respectively 2.801 ppm and 1.880 ppm for meat samples, 1.970 ppm, 1.102 ppm, 1.768 ppm, 1.435 ppm, and 1.622 ppm for liver samples, 1.648 ppm, 1.318 ppm, and 1.209 ppm for skin samples.
