Urban atmospheric mercury contamination from artisanal mining : mapping, modeling, and mitigation
Artisanal miners in more than 70 countries extract gold using mercury, which is often evaporated in densely populated urban areas. This work explores the behaviour of these emissions, and the potential implications for human health. Maps of urban mercury concentrations are used to evaluate the im...
