Abstract EN
Rainwater is the main source of drinking water in tropical communities, especially in West Kalimantan.
Air contamination causes rainwater to become acidic and cloudy and adds heavy metals such as Pb into rainwater.
In addition to pollution, the way in which the rainwater is collected such as through zinc roofing also exposes the rainwater to heavy metals.
The presence of Pb in rainwater will have an impact on the health of the community in the long run.
The model of simple water treatment using filtration is needed to overcome this problem with the use of media available in the region.
The media used are in the form of mollusk sand and activated carbon.
In the end, the mollusk sand filtration model and activated carbon sorption were effectively used to filter polluted rainwater to be safe for consumption.
