Abstract

ABSTACT

Background: River water and municipal water (PDAM) serve as primary sources of clean water for the residents of Sungai Pinang Village, Daha Selatan District, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The presence of blacksmithing (metal forging) industries in the village has contributed to a decline in clean water quality, which in turn affects the health conditions of the local community. Objective: This study aims to analyze the impact of blacksmithing industries on clean water quality and to assess the resulting health effects on the residents of Sungai Pinang Village, Daha Selatan District, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency. Methods: This descriptive quantitative study was conducted to illustrate the quality of clean water and the health status of the Sungai Pinang community. Research subjects were selected using purposive sampling, involving the Village Head, blacksmith industry workers, and residents knowledgeable about local health conditions and industrial activities. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and laboratory testing. The study applied the Pollution Index (IP) method, referring to the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 115 of 2003 on Guidelines for Determining Water Quality Status. Results: Analysis using the Pollution Index (IP) method yielded a score of 4.6 for river water and 3.9 for municipal water (PDAM). Conclusion: Based on the Pollution Index (IP) calculation, both river water and municipal water (PDAM) in Sungai Pinang Village, Daha Selatan District, are categorized as Lightly Polluted.
