Data were obtained by interviewing and measuring respondents' hair samples in the laboratory using the ICP-MS method. Data were analyzed using SPSS with a chi-square to see whether there was a relationship between the variables.

ABSTRACT
Title: The Relatinship Between Mercury Exposure and Neurological Symptoms On Traditional Gold Miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City
Background: Using mercury in amalgamation can cause neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners. Preliminary research found five people with neurological symptoms. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mercury exposure and neurological symptoms of conventional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City.
Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional design. The population is traditional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City. The research subject was the hair of 41 convenstional gold miners in Mantikulore District, Palu City. Data were obtained by interviewing and measuring respondents' hair samples in the laboratory using the ICP-MS method. Data were analyzed using SPSS with a chi-square to see whether there was a relationship between the variables.
Results: Measurement of mercury levels in respondents' hair found the lowest was 0.8038 µg/gr, and the highest was 99.6737 µg/g. Traditional gold miners in Mantikulore Subdistrict, Palu City, experienced neurological symptoms totaling 63%, namely headaches, forgetfulness, fatigue, tremors, numbness, difficulty concentrating. Independent variables have a significant relationship (α=0.05) with neurological symptoms, namely, concentration s of mercury 26(81.3%) of respondents with p-value=0,001, year’s of service >5 years, 18(81.8%) of respondents with p-value=0.047, length of work > 8 hours/day, 17( 85.0%) of respondents p-value= 0.028, frequency of exposure >4 times/day 14(87.5%) of respondentswith with p-value=0.045, age >40 year’s 14 (87,5%) of respondent with p-value=0,045. Analysis multivariate describes the variables that are very at risk of causing neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners, namely hair mercury levels and years of service.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between mercury levels, year’s of service, length of work frequency of exposure, and age, with neurological symptoms in traditional gold miners in Mantikulore sub-district, Palu city.
