Analysis shows significant mercury and cyanide levels in sediment and water, highlighting environmental pollution risks.

Mercury levels in the Cikaniki River sediment are highest downstream in Lukut Village, indicating pollution spread.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) were measured using gravimetric methods across three sites.
Illegal gold mining activities contribute to environmental degradation, even after cessation, due to residual contaminants.
Results indicate mercury presence in river sediment continues to be problematic, often below regulatory quality standards.

Erusani et al. (2025) studied this question.
