An Investigation into the Level of Preparedness of Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining Operations (ASGM) in Mahdia to Transform the MercuryFree Mining Techniques

SEES Resaerch Series: Student Research Articles and Practitioner Essays on the Green Economy, 2013
The use of mercury by artisanal small-scale gold miners has resulted in high humanhealth and environmental costs. As a result, mercury usefulness is on the decline to foster more effective and reliable environmentally-friendly alternatives. The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector contributes significantly as a source of income for ...

The Investigation of Mercury in an Abandoned Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM)

JST (Jurnal Sains dan Teknologi)
This paper Mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is a major environmental and health issue. Since mercury in the environment is persistent, mapping and investigating mercury in abandoned ASGM areas is urgent to mitigate and minimize mercury pollution.

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Repeated mining accounts for the majority of artisanal and small-scale gold mining activity in Southeastern Peru

Environmental Research Letters
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is considered a leading cause of environmental degradation in the Amazon. Previous studies have only used deforestation to quantify total ASGM activity and have not considered that mining may occur multiple ...

Plasmodium falciparum Parasites With Histidine‐Rich Protein 2 (pfhrp2) and pfhrp3 Gene Deletions in Frontier Endemic Regions of Brazilian Amazon

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies reporting deletions of the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in P. falciparum populations in various malaria‐endemic countries, including countries bordering Brazil, are increasing. Individuals infected with P. falciparum carrying deletions of the pfhrp2/3 genes may yield false‐negative results in Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) based on the ...

Application of the Quartz Crystal Microbalance Method for Measuring Mercury in the Air of Working Environments Involved to Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM)

Analytical Sciences, 2020
Artisanal small gold mining (ASGM) is responsible for approximately 40% of the total Hg emissions into the atmosphere worldwide. In developing countries, many people are engaged in ASGM activities. We developed a small, simple Hg measuring device, which detects Hg in the air based on the change of the oscillation frequency of an Au electrode on a ...
