Brantas river is a largest urban river upplying raw water and drainage in Jawa Timur Province,
Indonesia. Dense population along the river is a threat of pollution due to anthropogenic pollutants.
In this study, we characterize the magnetic properties and heavy metal contents of surface sediments
in various locations along the Brantas river. This study aims to enhance our understanding of the
relationship between magnetic parameters and heavy metal contents in surface sediments from
river. Surface sediment samples were taken and measured by a series of magnetic measurements,
mineralogical analysis and heavy metal contents. The results show that magnetic minerals in surface
sediments of Brantas river are dominated by PSD magnetite mineral. This relatively coarser grain
size can be caused by magnetic particles produced by erosion around the river. Surface sediments
have very high mass-specific magnetic susceptibility varying from 844.0 to 7231.4 × 10-8 m3kg-1
(on average of 3022.9 × 10-8 m3kg-1) because influenced by the surrounding volcanic
environment. Based on the pearson correlation analysis, magnetic susceptibility has strong positive
correlation with the heavy metal contents of ferromagnetic elements such as Fe and Co so that it can
potentially be used as an indicator of pollution of both these heavy metals in the Brantas river. This
present work shows the novelty of the relationship between magnetic susceptibility and heavy metal
contents in surface sediments from river in volcanic and tropical environment.
