Abstract

Background: Iron is one of the metal parameters regulated in the
Minister of Health's regulation regarding clean water and drinking
water. Iron can cause health problems if it accumulates in the body.
Methods: This study is a quantitative descriptive study with an
environmental health risk analysis approach through a table-top
approach evaluation to see the level of risk of heavy metal Fe in well
water of residents in the working area of the Ogan Komering Ilir
Regency Health Center. The study design is cross-sectional. This
research was conducted in 2023 in the working area of the Ogan
Komering Ilir Health Center. Results: Intake value based on the
minimum Fe content in well water in adults were obtained at 0.00032
mg/kg/day, while in children it was 0.00070 mg/kg/day. The
calculation results of the Fe Intake value based on the maximum Fe
content in wells for adults were 0.00061 mg/kg/day while in children
it was 0.00014 mg/kg/day. Meanwhile, based on the average value,
the Intake value for adults was 0.00032 mg/kg/day, and for children it
was 0.00070 mg/kg/day, with a Reference Concentration Dose of 0.3
mg/kg/day. The (RQ) value was obtained less than 1 for all
calculations based on the intake value. Conclusion: The Fe levels in
community well water in the Ogan Komering Ilir Community Health
Center work area are still below the quality standard and the results of
the Risk Quotient calculation in the water are still safe, but continuous
monitoring by the Community Health Center is needed.
