| dc.title | Mercury pollution by gold mining in a global biodiversity hotspot, the Choco biogeographic region, Colombia | en_US |
| dc.description.abstracteng | Mercury (Hg) is a harmful pollutant released into the environment from gold mining activities, repre- senting a risk to human health and the ecosystems. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of total Hg (T-Hg) in human hair, fish, sediments and air; and to determine fish consumption-based risks for T-Hg ingestion in the Choco biogeographic region, a global biodiversity hotspot located at the Colombian Pacific. Mercury concentrations in hair were measured in two locations, Quibdo, the state capital, and Paimado, a riverine community. The median T-Hg value in human hair in Quibdo was 1.26 mg/g (range: 0.02e116.40 mg/g), whereas in Paimado it was 0.67 mg/g (range: 0.07e6.47 mg/g). Mercury levels in examined locations were weakly associated with height (r ¼ 0.145, P ¼ 0.024) | en_US |
