"Mercury and gold mining are inextricably linked."
A quarter of the
world's supply of gold comes from artisanal gold mining, which leads to
the release of approximately 1000 tons of toxic mercury a year. Of the
20 million artisanal gold miners, an estimated 2.5 million are women and
over 600,000 are children.
