| Summary: | Residues of DDT (Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane) in the coastal
environment can get into the Bird's body through an intermediary Java Plover
natural feed. Residues of DDT will experience biomagnification and
biotransformation in the body organism. The purpose of this research was to
determine residue of DDT in the Trisik Coast region, several organs of birds, and
their impact on liver, intestine, and kidney Javan Plover. This research was
located in Progo�s downstream and Trisik�s coastal. Sampling was conducted in
June- July 2011. The method of environment and feed sampling done directly on
site. The bird sampling using mist nets. Detection of residues DDT in
environment samples by gas chromatography. Measurement of DDT residues in
feed and organs of birds with spectrophotometer. Preparation of histological slide
from liver, intestine, and kidney using paraffin method (with Hematoxylin &
Eosin and Mallory Acid Fuchsin staining). Quantitative Data obtained from the
measurement results of environment, feed, and organs of Javan Plover samples.
Qualitative data analize by descriptively. The analysis showed DDT residues
detected in area�s Progo downstream, Trisik coast, natural feed and Javan plover�s
organ exceeds the threshold environmental quality standards. Analysis shows
chronic effects posed by DDT residue on the histological structure of liver,
intestine, and kidney Javan Plover.
