This research aims to obtain the moisture and fat content in the determination of the concentration of PAH in the Green Mussels (Pernaviridis L) around the coast of Makassar and viewing the content of PAH in the green mussels at each station. Based on the analysis of moisture and fat content, the higher the content the smaller the PAH concentration will be obtained. PAH concentrations in the green mussels in 17 station sampling are only found on 3 stations. These stations are analyzed and acquired the highest moisture content at station 8 (IKI 1) which allows to obtain the PAH concentration in small quantities. It is supported with fat content that slightly greater than the green mussels on station 14 (UTA 1), while the higher fat content that is at station 17 (LAE 1) indicates the ability of a green mussel to deter the PAH accumulated in the body of green mussels so that its content has decreased. The total of PAH concentration from each sation, the sampling of the green mussels retrieved most at station 9 (IKI 4-5 cm) with the large size i.e. 336.56 ppm, it caused by the area that is not too far from Sukarno-Hatta port area as well as the Makassar industrial area (KIMA) as well as the activities of motorcycle traffic that is very crowd. Based on the rule of MKLH that the PAH content in thw samples of the green mussels are already not comsumable so that we need to be careful especially for the communities around the coast of Makassar. Furthermore, this research is beneficial for researchers who are willing to conduct further research about the causes of the high content of PAH in Green Mussels around the coast of Makassar. Also, researchers will be able to expand such research in other locations. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
