Artisanal gold mining is an ancient practice that remains used in present times. Occupational exposure to mercury has been investigated in several studies, but effects related to its use in gold mining have been less addressed. Several studies are found in the literature, specially related to the gold rush in South America, and the impact of the practice along the Amazon rivers. Due to the informal characteristics of the practice, gold mining with mercury has not been well registered; thus, exposure assessment of riverine populations involved in this practice and its health effects (especially at the nervous system level) are of public health concern. An approximate health risk assessment is performed, using mercury concentrations in 65 blo...
