Description

The authors present findings from a study measuring the extent of environmental and occupational exposure to mercury among miners and indigenous farmers living in a mining area in Ghana. The study showed a high internal dose of mercury in participants who were tested; however, the levels of exposure did not appear to pose a significant health risk.
