Mercury
CHASING THE QUICKSILVER
Synopsis
Mercury is crucial to small scale gold mining in South America, but increasing scrutiny of its health and environmental impacts in the Amazon is leading to its prohibition throughout the continent. We delve into the underworld of mercury exploring the health and environmental consequences, and what the prohibition of mercury would mean for the livelihoods of miners and communities across the Amazon.
