Samsiyah et al. 2019 - lead in salt from Pamekasan, Indonesia
Samsiyah and coauthors measured lead in salt from Pamekasan Regency, Indonesia and evaluated possible contamination sources during pre-production, production, and post-production. The abstract reports that the observed Pb values were below Indonesian salt standards. The source is direct salt occurrence evidence.
Key numbers
The abstract reports Pb in salt below the SNI 3556-2010 and SNI 7387-2009 maximum of 10 ppm. The lowest Pb concentration was 0.066 ppm and the highest was 0.162 ppm.
The discussion also notes that earlier salt near a landfill had an average Pb level of 12.2 mg/kg compared with a 10 mg/kg standard, but that is cited background from another setting and is not the Pamekasan result.
Methods (brief)
The study is described as descriptive research with observation and interviews about salt-production stages. The analytical details are not fully visible in the extracted first-page text, but the paper reports measured Pb concentration in salt.
Implications
Certification: Useful as Indonesia-specific salt Pb occurrence evidence. It should not be pooled with US-market salt without jurisdictional separation.
Courses: Useful for production-stage source-apportionment discussion: seawater, production soil, open-air processing, transport, and storage.
App: Can support country-specific salt context after synthesis.

Verification notes
The source is in Indonesian with an English abstract. Values here were taken from the English abstract and source discussion; audit should verify the methods and sample count from the Indonesian full text.
