The informal nature of and low levels of compliance in the
ASM sector also affects worker safety and in fact, ASM can
be very dangerous. Communities may also be affected by
environmental degradation as the enforcement of environmental
regulations is hampered by the informality. ASM can pollute
waterways through mercury use, dam construction, siltation,
poor sanitation, and indiscriminate effluent dumping.
