Previous studies show that the degradation of water quality in Upper Citarum is affected by the increasing area of agriculture fields in conservation zone, resulting in downstream erosion. The increasing number of industrial activities may also affect higher heavy metal contamination in several monitoring points. Regional and central government regulate the standard of heavy metal content in river water, which is used by regional environmental protection agency for water quality monitoring program. Heavy metal presence in sediment became a concern to environmental health, especially in areas where the sediment was used by local community. However, regulation for heavy metal content in sediment has not been available in Indonesia. In this study, heavy metal content distribution in water, sediment and fish (Liposarcus pardalis) were conducted by sampling in several monitoring points in Upper Citarum. Results of observation and interview about the utilization of water, sediment and fish were able to describe potential pathway exposure of heavy metal to human. Cadmium, chromium and copper in water, sediment and fish samples were analyzed using Flame-Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (Flame-AAS). Total chromium content in river water at Sapan and Cisirung sampling points were higher compared to other sampling points. The highest total chromium content of 103.925 mg/kg dry weight in fish was measured in Sapan, as well as higher cadmium and copper content in water compared to other sampling points. The specific potential exposure pathway of cadmium, chromium and copper to human were drafted based on interview to local community. Due to the fact that the regulation for heavy metal content in sediment is still not available in Indonesia, this study shows the importance of establishing regulation to protect the environment and public health.

Various monitoring methods are used to investigate surface water quality in the Citarum River. By using Liposarcus pardalis fish as a biomarker to monitor heavy metal water pollution in the Citarum River, Hadisantosa (2006) showed that copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) concentrations in fish were increasing along the Citarum River from upstream to downstream but a significant increase of mercury (Hg) concentration was only detected in the Bantar Panjang area. Therefore, the present study was intended to identify the source of mercury pollution in the Bantar Panjang area. In this study, nine sampling points were selected along the Citarum River in Bantar Panjang area, by considering the tributaries of the river. At each sampling point, three fish samples were taken and analyzed for Hg concentration based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-2364-1991. Land use data surrounding the sampling points was examined to identify the Hg pollution source. In this research, the land use data was obtained from EPA-West Java Province. A significant increase of Hg concentration in fish samples was identified after the inlet of Citarik and Cipamokolan Tributaries, which coincides with the Hg concentration pattern in river water based on water quality monitoring data from EPA-West Java for the period 2001 – 2005. Utilizing land use data, Hg pollution in the river is related to the type of industries and number of industrial plants, raw materials and processes in industries, waste water flow, and the treatment of waste water.
