ANALISIS KANDUNGAN MERKURI (Hg) PADA KRIM PEMUTIH WAJAH TIDAK TERDAFTAR YANG BEREDAR DI PASAR INPRES KOTA PALU
Abstract: Whitening cream is a
mixture of chemicals and other materials to eliminate the the black spots on
the skin. The purpose of this research was to determine whether unregistered
facial whitening creams that contain mercury (Hg) and to determine the amount
of mercury (Hg) levels of the facial whitening creams have circulated in the
Inpres Market Palu. There are 10 samples were examined of facial whitening
cream by using Purposive Sampling method. The testing of mercury content is
divided into two stages first stage is qualitative testing (color test) and the
second stage is quantitative testing atomic absorption Spectrophotometry using
additional tools MVU (Mercury Vaporizer Unit). The result of the research show
that all of 10 the samples contained mercury (Hg) with an average content of
each sample A = 67,27 µg/g , B = 5349,47
µg/g, C = 137,49 µg/g, D = 159,25
µg/g, E = 90,22 µg/g, F = 33,61 µg/g, G = 31,87 µg/g, H = 32,36 µg/g, I = 3,63 µg/g and J = 3,52 µg/g.
