Batissaviolaceacelebensisis an endemic species of shellfish on Sulawesi Island. This animal is one of the staple foods of the people living around the Konaweha River. Various researches have been conducted to find the contamination of Cadmium, Plumbum and Hydragryrum heavy metals on the Konaweha River. Heavy metals can cause bioaccumulation in Batissaviolaceacelebensis. The objective of this study was to analyze the environmental health risks of heavy metals exposure in humans who consumed Batissaviolaceacelebensisfrom the Konaweha River. The study employed quantitative research (Field Research and Research Laboratory). By using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis method adopted from USEPA. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in Batissaviolaceacelebensis was 0.03345 mg/kg (cd), 0.04505 mg/kg (Pb) and 0.001833 mg/kg (Hg). The value of human intakes is 0.0054235 mg/kg/day (cd), 0.0073076 mg/kg/day (Pb) and 0,0002962 mg/kg/day (Hg). The duration of exposure for 30 years, the average intake rate of 68.09 grams/day, the average exposure frequency is 124 days/year. So that the Risk Quotient value <1 is obtained. Pollution in the Konaweha River has contaminated Batissavoilecaecelebensis. It is predicted that the risk of contamination will be felt by humans if they consume more than 30 years. It would be better if the Risk Quotient value was lowered by minimizing the intensity of exposure to consumption of Batissaviolaceacelebensis.
