Lead can also affect human health especially children, lead potentially lowering level of intelligence, growth, loss, causing anemia, and disorder among children as lead is neurotoxin and accumulative. In addition lead can cause a decrease in the ability of the brain, whereas in adults may cause interference of high blood pressure and other tissue toxicity.

Methods: This study investigate the distribution of toxic lead in Makassar coastal area namely; sea water, sediments, shells and crab.

After create distribution maps lead risks we create analysis of environmental health risks for children. Results: Result revealed that the analysis of spatial distribution of Lead in the sediment shows that the high distribution was in station 3 in Mariso districts then coastal Tallo area and the lowest was in Tamalate District.

Conclusion: In conclusion, it revealed the concentration of Lead at all stations of those four districts have exceeded the level of allowed standard and may potentially lead to a hazard both to environment and human being who are living in the surround area. }, issn = {2502-7085}, pages = {51--55} doi = {10.14710/jkli.16.2.51-55}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/jkli/article/view/16394} }
