“…Silver was detected at <0.0024 mg/L and evenly distributed along both segments. This figure corresponds to previous research findings, which identified silver at 0.0001 mg/L in river water [17]. Low silver contents in a body of water can be attributed to, among others, increasing flow discharge, water sampling time, and waste treatment by the silver craft industry.…”

Silver is a hazardous heavy metal that can be found in waters due to effluents from silver crafting. This research aimed to determine the silver contents of effluents from the silver craft industry in Kotagede, Yogyakarta, and analyze the distribution of silver in the receiving bodies of water: Gajahwong and Mantras Pioro River segments. Laboratory tests were conducted to calculate the presence of silver in effluents, river water, and river sediments, and a correlation analysis was employed to investigate the spatial correlation between silver concentrations and silver craft industries. Laboratory test results found silver at <0.0024-88.48 mg/L in effluents. When disposed of into the river, the silver-containing effluents cause contamination in both river segments, as evidenced by <0.0024 mg/L of silver in the water and 2.80-4.04 mg/Kg in the sediment. The distribution pattern also suggested that the concentration of silver increases as the number of silver craft industries on each side of the two river segments increases. In conclusion, the distribution of silver craft industries influences the spread of silver content in the Gajahwong and Mantras Pioro segments.

“…Notably, due to the chemical property of the Ag + being stable, even if the APE activities are stopped, the accumulated Ag + may remain in the soil over the long term and could be released into the environment by the external driving forces. The silver content in the sediment was higher than that observed by Causapé et al [ 63 , 64 ] in the soil of the same area. According to Smith and Carson [ 57 ], this implies that silver is transported and lixiviated by streams.…”
