本文讨论了一项试点研究战略的结果，该战略旨在监测哥伦比亚上考卡地区手工采金业使用汞所产生的环境危害。在2016年和2017年期间，建立了一种跨学科的方法来调查手工采矿引起的健康，环境和领土问题。在这篇文章中，我们特别关注这个问题如何影响该地区的妇女。我们建立了一个闭环方法，将社会行动研究与分析科学/工程相结合，以了解考卡省手工和小规模金矿开采中与汞水平相关的风险。我们开发了一个平台，称为社会行动和分析化学研究的闭环整合。
This article discusses the results of a pilot research strategy for monitoring environmental hazards derived from the use of mercury in artisanal gold mining in the Alto Cauca region, Colombia. During 2016 and 2017, a transdisciplinary approach was established to inquire on the health, environment, and territorial problems originated from artisanal mining. In this article, we specifically focus on how this particular issue affects women in the area. We establish a closed-loop approach for integrating social action research with analytical sciences/engineering to understand risks associated with Hg2+ levels in artisanal and small-scale gold mining in the Cauca department. We develop a platform known as closed-loop integration of social action and analytical chemistry research.
