Description: Batang Kuantan River is a river that still has a wild gold mine along the flow. Problems arising from the gold mine is the content of the metal it produces, one of which is mercury. Mercury is used in gold mining This research was conducted to see the mercury contained in the water in the flow of Batang Kuantan river. Geochemical studies have been performed by determining the pH and concentration of metal mercury (Hg) determination in water samples using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed that The concentration of Hg on samples A1 and A3 is 0.009 mg / L and 0.0078 mg / L. The A2 and A3 samples found a low reading of the limit of detection. The concentration values of Hg samples A1 and A4 are above the standards specified by PP No.82 tahun 2001 i.e 0.002 mg/L.
