Whereas Hg is purposely used to extract the gold from the ore, the other toxic metals can be liberated from the ore during the mining process. These metals can contaminate drinking water and food and are thus, a source of exposure for people living in these mining areas. However, there is limited to no data about the exposure to toxic metals of people living in ASGM areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct biomonitoring of people identifying themselves as artisanal gold miners. 2022-08-12T09:50:11Z 2022-08-12T09:50:11Z 2020-09-18 Article doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-76679/v1 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/5110 en open |
