Mercury emission and distribution: Potential environmental risks at a small-scale gold mining
Results suggest that atmospheric fallout is a major source of Hg to the area surrounding the mining or gold ore extraction, and the elevated Hg levels found in living bivalves collected from highly contaminated sites suggested that the sediment bound Hg was bioavailable. Mercury (Hg) contamination was assessed in environment near an amalgamation gold

Mercury and methylmercury contamination related to artisanal gold mining…
Elemental Hg‐Au amalgamation mining practices are used widely in many developing countries resulting in significant Hg contamination of surrounding ecosystems. We have measured total Hg and methyl‐Hg concentrations in sediment and water collected from artisanal Au mines and these are the first Hg speciation data from such mines in

· Abstract. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest global source of anthropogenic mercury emissions. However, little is known about how effectively mercury released from ASGM is converted into the bioavailable form of methylmercury in ASGM-altered landscapes. Through examination of ASGM-impacted
