Amalgamation from artisanal gold mining represents today the main source of mercury pollution in the planet releasing/emitting between 1400 and 1600 tonnes/a of metallic mercury. Approximately 16 million individuals, spread over virtually all developing countries, are directly involved in extracting gold using rudimentary techniques. Artisanal miners are currently extracting 300 to 500 tonnes/a of gold worldwide increasing river siltation, mercury pollution, and generating many other environmental, political and social problems. This Discovery Grant proposal is in line with my former grants that has focused on reduction/elimination of mercury pollution from artisanal gold miners worldwide. This proposal has as its main objectives the following steps:

手工采金业的汞合金化是当今全球汞污染的主要来源，每年释放/排放1，400至1，600吨金属汞。大约有1 600万人，几乎分布在所有发展中国家，直接参与使用初级技术开采黄金。目前，全世界手工采矿者每年开采300至500吨黄金，增加了河流淤积、汞污染，并产生了许多其他环境、政治和社会问题。这项发现补助金提案与我以前的赠款一致，以前的补助金侧重于减少/消除世界各地手工金矿工人的汞污染。这项建议的主要目标是：
