Mercury Use in Small-Scale Gold Mining
2014-10-8 · Mercury is very often used to extract the gold in this small-scale method of gold mining. The result is that ASGM causes the largest single “intentional-release” of mercury in the world. Because this type of mining is often unregulated, there arises a danger to the workers via

Global Burden of Disease of Mercury Used in Artisanal ...
Background: Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the world's largest anthropogenic source of mercury emission. Gold miners are highly exposed to metallic mercury and suffer occupational mercury intoxication. The global disease burden as a result of this exposure is largely unknown because the informal character of ASGM restricts the availability of reliable data.

Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Without Mercury |
2022-1-12 · In many countries, elemental mercury is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Mercury is mixed with gold-containing materials, forming a mercury-gold amalgam which is then heated, vaporizing the mercury to obtain the gold. This process can be very dangerous and lead to significant mercury exposure and health risks.
