Shija reiterated that some miners have been using mercury in gold
processing in areas which are very close to water sources, leading to
possible pollution of water sources used by residents living near the
mines.
"The effects of using mercury for gold processing near water sources
leads to the possibility of contamination of the same, and that may
destroy the ecosystem and affect the health of people who use these
sources," Shija said.
