Abstract

Karang Mumus River is one example of a river that has pollution. The source of pollution comes from the community activities around the river such as dumping garbage and liquid waste into the river and using the toilet over the river. In addition to making the river a waste disposal site, people in the region also use river water for bathing, washing clothes, washing kitchen utensils even for consumption. This is very worrying because it can cause health impacts on the community. The purpose of this study was to analyse the contamination of Escherichia coli bacteria in the Karang Mumus River. The method in this research is observation and laboratory measurement. The analysis technique used is to compare laboratory test results with the Environmental Protection Agency standards. The results of the research showed that the lowest number of Escherichia Coli bacteria was <30 CFU/100 ml and the highest was 2400 CFU/100 ml. Based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s standards that out of 8 sample points, 37.5% did not meet surface water-full body contact requirements and 100% did not meet requirements for consumption.
