Smallscale gold mining accounts for 37 % of global mercury pollution. Millions of poor people have to resort to this type of mining as the only way of sustaining their families. 2 A large part of the mercury used in the final step of gold extraction ends up as mmsized droplets in dumps (tailings) from which mercury slowly evaporates to the atmosphere. These droplets make up what is referred ...
