The Director of Environment at the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Mr Fredua Agyeman, has called for the enforcement of laws that criminalise the activities of miners who use mercury in their work.
He expressed optimism that when enforced, the devastating effects of mercury on humans such as damage to the central nervous system, thyroid glands, kidneys, lungs, immune system, eyes, gum and skin as well as neurological and behavioural disorders would be minimised.
