Leaves of ground kale (Ipomoea reptans Poir) were extracted by maceration using 70% ethanol solvent. The ethanol extract of terrestrial kale leaves obtained were analyzed by secondary metabolites. Determination of decreased levels of heavy metals mercury by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry with wavelengths 253,7 nm. Determination of concentration reduction is done by using a series of concentrations of 4 ppm, 9 ppm, 14 ppm, 20 ppm, 24 ppm. The results showed ethanol extract of terrestrial kale leaves (Ipomoea reptans Poir) positive containing flavonoids, tannin, alkaloid, saponin, and steroids. Ethanol extract of ground kale leaves produces an average concentration value that can reduce mercury up to 50% (EC50) by 10,45 ppm (coefficient of variation 0,48%).} }
