Key words: Mining, mounds mining residues, pollution, metallic trace elements, toxicology. 1. Introduction Previous studies carried out over the last century have shown that Betare Oya is a higher gold zone grade. The alluvial gold found in these soils has led to a significant mining

Read MoreHow Mining Companies are Reducing the Environmental Impact of Mining. Mining leaves an eyesore on the land. By ripping open mountains to extract the ores within, it sometimes leaves areas unusable after the mining companies have left. We can't go on this way, and politicians agree. It's why mining companies are working to reduce the environmental ...

Read More2003-8-1 This can be demonstrated in terms of both the environmental and health impact of opencast mining. The epidemiological study found increased dust levels in opencast communities, but that the actual levels were well within UK air quality guidelines and indeed lower than found in nearby cities ( Pless-Mulloli et al., 2000 ).
Read MoreThe use of mercury in gold mining is causing a global health and environmental crisis. Mercury, a liquid metal, is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to extract gold from rock and sediment. Unfortunately, mercury is a toxic substance that wreaks

The stages that contributed the most to gold’s environmental impact were mining and comminution (crushing and grinding of the ore).

The mining sector in Ghana consists of both small-scale and large-scale mining, each of which has varying environmental impacts. This paper provides an exposition on the environmental impacts of mining activities in Ghana.
