Hair mercury concentration in community living sourrounding the illegal gold mining Background: Higher mercury concentration in the hair surrounding of illegal gold mining communities occurred due to mercury exposed continuously in a long time. The purpose of this research was to identify the risk factors affecting the mercury concentration of the community hair living in the illegal gold mining activity. Methods: The study was a case control study. Subject were people living around the Mandor’s river consisting of 68 families (34 cases and 34 controls). Data collection was done through structured interviews, observation, depth interviews, and examination of the rate of mercury in the laboratory for hair samples. Data were analyzed by chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: There were significant relationship between length of stay when (p=0.003), house distance (p=0.002), employment (p=0.004), a water source (p=0.004), habit of bathing in river (p=0.015) and consumption of local fish (p=0.007) with mercury level in the hair. Variable local vegetable consumption and nutritional status do not have a significant influence on the rate of mercury in hair with (p=0.330) and (p=0.500). The risk for mercury level in the hair above the thresholds were the length of stay =15 years (OR=7.07; 95% CI=2.12-23.57) and consumption of local fish >3 times/weeks (OR=6.14; 95% CI=1.86-20.30), with a probability of 89.3%. Conclusion: Risk factors for the occurrence of mercury in the hair above the threshold is the length of stay =15 years and consumption of local fish >3 times/weeks. Therefore it recommended to relocate house away from the river and decrease the consumption of Mandor’s river fish.
