With the aim of protecting human life and environment, Minamata Convention seeks to reduce monitor mercury (Hg) concentrations in environment. Artisanal Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) has been identified as most important anthropogenic source Hg at a global scale an route exposure Hg. In this context, study assessed total (THg) blood, urine hair, methylmercury (MeHg) hair samples from 238 participants with occupational relevant ASGM communities Colombia. Mercury different biological matrices...
Soils contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) as a result of anthropogenic activities such mining are problem due to the adverse effects on human and environmental health, making it necessary seek sustainable strategies remediate areas. The objective this study was evaluate species Clidemia sericea D. Don for phytoremediation soils with PTEs (Hg, Pb, Cd) from gold activities. conducted three months, area in northern Colombia, seeds C. sericea, under completely randomized...
The Atrato River basin is one of the most biodiverse areas worldwide, and paradoxically, it sites in Colombia with highest environmental impact from gold mining. This study assessed distribution Hg, As, Pb, Cd 47 fish species (n = 1372) accumulative human health risk inhabitants 2325) 13 municipalities located along basin. results revealed that Hg As present a high potential based on their mean concentrations. Estimated daily intake (EDI) calculations showed humans could detrimental effects,...
Despite being one of the most important tropical biomes in world, Atrato River basin has experienced a critical ecological deterioration due to gold mining, posing significant threat wildlife and human health. In this study, we measured concentrations mercury (Hg) arsenic (As) sediments at various swamps within basin. Classical indices were employed assess associated health risks linked exposure these elements. The Hg As ranged between 0.09 0.23 mg/kg 0.59–2.68 mg/kg, respectively. highest...
Abstract Contamination of soils with toxic metals poses significant threats to human health and ecosystems. Plant-based remediation strategies can play a vital role in mitigating these risks, the use plants as strategy help reduce risks. In this study, we investigate potential native accumulating translocating metal(loid)s at Colombian site impacted by gold mining. The capacity is evaluated using translocation factor (TF) from roots shoots bioconcentration (BCF) soil roots. Metal(loid)...
