Mercury exposure among artisanal and small-scale gold miners in four gold mining districts in the East Region of Cameroon

2023-07-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the single largest intentional-release of mercury (Hg) in the world. In Cameroon, there is paucity of data concerning the contribution of ASGM to human mercury contamination. This study aimed at providing new data for a region in Cameroon where ASGM is practiced, through an assessment of the concentration of total mercury (T-Hg) in hair as...
