Abstract

This study examined the levels of Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) in the urine of fishermen from Junganyar Pesisir Village, Socah District, Bangkalan Regency, and explored their relationship with age. Using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS), urine samples from 16 fishermen were analyzed. Results showed Cd levels below 0.01 mg/L and Cr levels ranging from 0.24 to 1.8 mg/L. No significant correlation was found between metal levels and age (p > 0.05), likely due to the fishermen's healthy lifestyle, which reduces metal accumulation and enhances excretion. The study, conducted in August-September 2022, emphasizes the role of lifestyle in mitigating heavy metal exposure.
