Abstract

Abstract As a continuation of the enactment of Law No 11 of 2017 concerning Ratification of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the Government of Indonesia issued Presidential Regulation No. 21 of 2019 concerning the National Action Plan (NAP) for the Reduction and Abolishment of Mercury (RAM). This regulation contains strategies, activities, and targets for mercury reduction and elimination in the period 2018 to 2030, with priorities in manufacturing, energy, small-scale gold mining, and health. This study aims to analyze the success indicators of the NAP-RAM in 4 priority areas based on the regulations implemented in 2019-2020. The analysis results show that not all regulations that are targeted in 2019 and 2020 have been formed. On the other hand, some existing regulations still require adjustments and improvements. Mercury was found in surface water in several provinces in Indonesia due to artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) existence. The maximum value of mercury in surface waters was still below the quality threshold standard proposed by Government Act No. 82/2001 but exceeded the WHO’s quality threshold standard. The mercury waste threshold in the Indonesian regulation is higher than those in international regulation such as USEPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency) or WHO (World Health Organization). Therefore, the government should issue a stricter regulation closer to international regulation regarding the mercury waste threshold in water.
