Gold Toll Milling Addresses Health & Environmental Issues of Mercury Pollution from Artisanal and small-scale gold mining
More than one year after its historical entry into force the Minamata Convention on Mercury, hosted by UN Environment meet to address mercury as global emissions rise by 20% ended its second Conference of the Parties (COP2) in Geneva, Switzerland Nov. 23rd.
Minamata disease(Japanese) is a neurological syndrome caused by severe mercury poisoning 1st discovered in Minamata city in 1965 from the release of methylmercury in the industrial wastewater from the Chisso Corporation's chemical factory, which continued from 1932 to 1968
Signs and symptoms include ataxia, numbness in the hands and feet, general muscle weakness, loss of peripheral vision, and damage to hearing and speech. In extreme cases, insanity, paralysis, coma, and death follow within weeks of the onset of symptoms.
A congenital form of the disease can also affect fetuses in the womb
"Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the world's largest anthropogenic source of mercury emission".
Gold miners are highly exposed to metallic mercury and suffer occupational mercury intoxication. The global disease burden as a result of this exposure is largely unknown
Mercury release from tailings and vaporized mercury exceed 1,000 tonnes each year from ASGM according to Chemistry - A European Journal
"Environmental impact of ASGM in Southern Ecuador is causing considerable environmental impacts, the most important of which are related to the discharge of metals, metalloids and cyanide into adjacent rivers".
"Studies have shown that ASGM operations annual gold production can be as high as 200 tonnes (6.4 Million oz) processing with mercury (Hg) and/or cyanide emitting an estimated 1,000 tonnes of mercury annually with gold workers being exposed to intoxicatingly high levels of mercury with 85% of them suffered neurological symptoms such as tremors, and 44%–56% of them experienced restricted fields of vision, slow reflexes, sensory disturbances, unbalanced rigidity, and ataxia".
"The risks to children are also substantial, with mercury emissions from ASGM resulting in both physical and mental disabilities and compromised development Chronic exposure to mercury is known to lead to neurological disorders that include blurred vision, tremors, malaise, memory loss, and intellectual impairment"
