Mercury human health threats and biodiversity costs from this deadly global crisis — A Solution

Alchemy Mining Group, Inc., "Innovation provider with a climate action initiative designed to eliminate mercury used by artisanal miners processing ore to recover gold"
 
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - March 21, 2022 - PRLog -- Artisanal miner's gold ore processing is our world's largest anthropogenic source of deadly mercury pollution documented in 2021 by Oxford University earth scientists to stay airborne up to one year precipitating back to Earth in the form of rain and snow onto the lands, into the rivers and oceans.

They are ~ 18–20 million impoverished artisanal miners in ~ 80 Countries including ~4.5 million women and ~600,000 children under the age of 15 all largely having undiagnosed mercury poisoning from using handling and breathing mercury which they use to form an amalgam with gold in crushed ore.

Artisanal miners heat the amalgam to 1,200 F. using blowtorches vaporizing the amalgam leaving behind a gold button while exposing them and our environment to deadly toxic mercury pollution.

The gold button still contains ~ 5% mercury and is sent to an artisanal smelter for refining by heating the button to a higher temperature creating more deadly localized mercury pollution.

Artisanal miners produce 20% of the world's gold supply used in our jewellery, our iPad's, iPhone, computers, and other electronics devices.

The morbid irony lies in the fact the same mercury that is vaporized to recover the gold is polluting the air we breathe, contaminating our drinking water, polluting the Oceans we swim, poisoning the fish we consume causing health issues, and global biodiversity destruction.

December 17, 2020, UK Super Mega Rock Star @robbiewilliams reported he 'almost died' from mercury poisoning over his seafood habit. He had the highest level of mercury in his body ever recorded in UK.

A high price to pay with devastating consequences when there are mercury free alternatives.
