Abstract

The environment is a place for the survival of living creatures which has an important role. Furthermore, pollution is a problem in the environment and really needs to be addressed because it can cause damage to the environment and ecosystem. Pollution that is very dangerous for life is heavy metals such as lead (Pb) in the sea. Green mussels (Perna Viridis L.) are examples of marine creatures in the bivalve group that can accumulate heavy metals and can be used as bioindicators of water pollution. The aim of this literature review is to determine the bioaccumulation of the heavy metal lead (Pb) in green mussels (Perna Viridis L.) in Indonesian waters. In the process of preparing this journal review, the method used is the comparative method. The results of the research that has been carried out show that green mussels contain the highest concentration of lead (Pb) in the waters of Jakarta Bay at 29.4 mg/kg, because Jakarta is a densely populated area and there are many industries in the city, followed by the concentration of green mussels. which was found in Badung Market, Bali at 28.878 mg/kg, then in the waters of Tambak Lorok, Semarang with levels of 8.0665 mg/kg.
