Abstract :
The analysis of iron (Fe3+), cadmium (C23+) and cobalt (Co2+)ions have been done,
and the sample was taken from Lau Borus River, Karo District, North Sumatera and
analysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrofotometric (AAS). The flow of the river was
based on the three locations, namely Sigarang-garang, Naman Teran and Simpang
Empat village, Karo. The sample was analyzed every two months in six months, and it
had several stages. Firstly, the sample was filtered, added 5 mL of dilute HNO3,
destructed until left ± 15 mL of volume, and finally it was put on 100 mL flask
through filter paper. Finally, the concentration of Fe, Cd, and Co was analyzed by
AAS with ? 248.3 nm, 288.8 nm and 240.7 nm respectively. From the data, ion Fe and
ion Cd was excess from the normal concentration based on the rule of government (PP
No.82 tahun 2001), but Co was still below the normal concentration. Eventually, the
water of River Borus has been contaminated by Fe and Cd, and it cannot be consumed
for daily activities.
