Abstract
Air represent the all important factor in life, but progressively the increasing of
human life level, and technological growth indirectly have generated the change of air
quality. Air contamination especially because of smoke from vehicle. Area Kulonprogo
represent the outskirts which solid enough traffic. Caused by this air contamination
require to be performed by a heavy metal contamination heavymetal contamination
research especially Pb, Cd and Cr which its existence can bother the human being health.
Besides passing heavy metal contamination air also can through contamination irrigate
and land;ground contamination. Heavy metal brought in rainwater will follow to enter in
land;ground which finally permeated by root with vitamin other hara. As for intention of
this research is to know the possibility of existence of contamination of metal Pb, Cd and
Cr at cantaloup planted by the side of roadway around area kulonprogo.
Analyse the metal use the method of Spektrofotometri of Atom Absorption. direct Intake
Sampel cantaloup from its crop differentiated by pursuant to crop age. measurement of
Rate or concentration of element Pb, Cd and Cr in cantaloup obtained from measurement
of absorbance sampel which interpolation into curve calibrate or included equation of
straight line obtained by using linear regresi curve calibrate. Technique analyse the data
by using Anava test.
Keywords : watermelon, Pb, Cd, and Cr
