Abstract
The pollution of household groundwater with heavy metals is one of the public health problems in Indonesia. This is due to the toxicity of the heavy metal, which leads to negative effects on physical health. It is possible that trash from both industrial and home sources has led to the deterioration of the ecosystem and the polluting of water. This research was conducted with the purpose of determining the concentration of heavy metals in the groundwater of the Pulomerak house in Cilegon City. A cross-sectional design was used for this investigation, which is a descriptive study. Using a method known as purposive sampling, the 36 borehole samples were collected. The results of the heavy metals groundwater study were compared to the criteria for water quality that are utilized in Indonesia while conducting the analysis. The results of the study indicate that the quantity of total dissolved solids (TDS), fluoride, manganese, and lead in groundwater exceeds the acceptable levels according to the regulations for water quality in Indonesia. The findings of the study may serve as a guide for the activities that the community and the local government do in order to guarantee that the region under investigation is equipped with a healthy and dependable supply of drinking water.
