Guide for the Responsible Management and Alternatives for the Elimination of Mercury in Work Environments of the Mining Sector: Throughout this guide, we will describe the processes in small gold mining that are normally carried out using mercury. We will also detail the sources of contamination to this chemical element, which mining workers are exposed to, and the effects this has on health. This is done with the aim of providing the tools and knowledge to carry out these processes safely and responsibly.
