Amazon forests capture high levels of atmospheric mercury pollution from artisanal gold mining

Jacqueline R. Gerson et al.

Summary: The Peruvian Amazon is facing the highest known input of mercury pollution in any ecosystem globally, especially the forests near artisanal gold mining. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is the largest global source of mercury, surpassing coal combustion. This study found that intact forests in the Peruvian Amazon near gold mining intercept large amounts of mercury, resulting in elevated mercury levels in the atmosphere, canopy foliage, and soils. Significant mercury accumulation was also observed in soils, biomass, and resident songbirds in protected and biodiverse areas, raising concerns about the impact of mercury pollution on conservation efforts in tropical ecosystems.

Summary: The study conducted a scoping review of health studies in ASM environments, revealing a focus on health in ASM extracting gold, limited investigation into infectious diseases, and lack of attention to vulnerable groups. Future research should comprehensively address health issues and focus on a wider range of populations in ASM settings.

The cyanide revolution: Efficiency gains and exclusion in artisanal- and small-scale gold mining

Boris Verbrugge et al.

Summary: Cyanide processing in industrial gold mining has had a significant impact, and now artisanal and small-scale gold mining is experiencing a similar transition, leading to efficiency gains and unequal labor and revenue-sharing arrangements. It is crucial to be cautious of unintended consequences when intervening in the technological make-up of ASGM.

Mercury (Hg) use and pollution assessment of ASGM in Ghana: challenges and strategies towards Hg reduction

Alex Kwasi Saim

Summary: The artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector in Ghana continues to grow, but the impacts caused by mercury use are becoming increasingly severe. Despite previous bans and increased monitoring efforts, the country has not been successful in significantly reducing mercury use and its associated impacts. The lack of mercury alternatives, funding, and education support makes addressing this issue more challenging.
