SUMMARY

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM) is a poverty-driven activity that provides an important source of livelihood for rural communities. The amount of mercury lost by 10 to 15 million small-scale gold miners can reach as much as 1,000 tonnes a year, potentially contaminating 100 million people worldwide. This document brings simple, replicable and sustainable techniques to be used by environmental and health agencies, mining-related institutions and researchers for monitoring mercury pollution. These are badly needed decision-making tools to support mitigation of a serious problem.Veiga, Marcello M. is the author of 'Protocols for Environmental And Health Assessment of Mercury Released by Artisanal And Small Scale Gold Miners ', published 2006 under ISBN 9789211064292 and ISBN 9211064295.
