Abstract
The purpose of this research is to know the potential of waste pollution and mercury (Hg) content in river sediment, due to the existence of Unlicensed Gold Mining effect in Sub-District of Hutabargot Julu of Mandailing Natal Regency North Sumatra, with the standard for Hg in sediment (guideline value 0.15 – SQG High 1.0 ppm) based on sediment guidance issued by the Australian Convergence of the Australian And New Zealand (ANZECC / ARMCANZ) Sediment Quality Guidelines may 2013. Sampling consists of 3 points, for point 1 in upstream (0,10 ppm) and point 2 in Aek Simalagi / mid (0,113 ppm) and point 3 in estuary (0,125ppm). This research method uses descriptive method. The research variable is the content of heavy metals Mercury (Hg) in river sediments. Mercury Analysis (Hg) using Mercury Analyzer. The results showed that the heavy metal content of mercury (Hg) in river sediments was still below the thresholds set by (ANZECC / ARMCANZ)
