Pollution from Gold Mining Causes Detrimental Effects in Ghana


As one of the top producers of gold in the world, gold mining in Ghana and the effects of it have led to a direct impact on rural income and living standards highlighting calls for mining tax bills to be higher than the total losses of the affected agricultural workers and distributed in a fair way, and for mining companies to reduce their environmental impact to minimise pollution.
As a result of the findings, Professor Aragon and Professor Rud have been invited by the IGC office in Ghana to attend a dissemination event with local academics and policy makers in the summer.
