N2 - The rapid development of mining activities, the shipping industry, and public transportation across the land and water areas of Boedingi Village can have both positive and negative impacts on the water quality of this area. This study aimed to determine the heavy metal content in yellowtail fish (Caesio cuning), a type of fish that is generally consumed by Boedingi villagers in North Konawe, Indonesia. A descriptive method with an environmental health risk assessment (EHRA) was employed to measure metal profiles (Pb, Cd, and Hg). The results showed that the metal levels in the water exceeded the thresholds, indicating significant heavy metal pollution. In addition, the Cd levels of the fish surpassed the food safety standard according to the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since Indonesia began its large-scale shift from conventional to electrical transportation, global and government collaboration have become critical in managing the environmental and health impacts of the related industries. This is especially important because this area is one of the largest nickel producers (the raw material of electrical transportation) both nationally and globally.
