Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of heavy metal (Pb) in banana, papaya and cassava leaves in the former coal mining area. The metal content analyzed will be compared with the quality standard of plant heavy metal content according to SNI 7387: 2009. The research was conducted in July 2013. The locations studied were 3 ex-coal mining locations (3 ex-mining areas that have been planted with papaya, banana and cassava) . The number of plant samples was 3 samples (banana, papaya leaf and cassava). Heavy metal levels were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of research on bananas and papayas show that there is heavy metal contamination of Pb because it exceeds 0.5 mg / Kg of quality standards for safe limits, so it is dangerous for human consumption, except for undetected cassava leaves
