Mercury Exposure Among Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Miners in Four Regions in Uganda

BACKGROUND. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is a human health concern, especially in low-income countries like Uganda due to the use of mercury (Hg) in the mining process. OBJECTIVE. The aim of the present study was to assess Hg exposure among artisanal and small-scale gold miners in Uganda th...
