on the legal gold mining sector in Ghana and the hazards it presents to human health. These hazards can be in the form of occupational injuries and/or ill health resulting directly from mining activities or their sequelae. 4. The occurrence of mining hazards compares poorly to other well-established sectors such as manufacturing, rails …
Occupational health risks in the artisanal gold sector The Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) sector typically consists of small groups or individuals extracting gold with semi-mechanized and low-tech methods. Mining sites tend to have poor occupational safety standards and practices exposing miners to various occupational health hazards.
Choi and Gharelar (2014) claimed that pre-treatment of three different oxide ores with activated carbon significantly increased the extraction of gold in thiosulfate solutions from two oxide ores (from 22.7% to 86.2% and from 26.4% to 71.1% respectively), with a moderate increase for the third oxide ore (from 70.7% to 80.2%). …

This thesis's assigned topic is "New possibilities in leaching of gold ores". Gold is a very desirable raw material, and the demand for it increases in proportion to the development of new technologies. This demand calls for research in the field of financially efficient mining and treatment of gold-bearing ores. This work focuses precisely on the

Particulate matter is a significant health hazard to many industrial workers, most especially those in the mining industry. Many underground workers globally suffer from silicosis, cancer and other health related effects due to prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust and diesel particulate matter (DPM). In order to determine the possible …
The present review discusses the hazards faced in personal and domestic use of gold and the far greater risks presented through occupational exposure to the metal in mining and processing gold ores. In the last situation, regular manual contact or inhalation of toxic or carcinogenic materials like mercury or arsenic, respectively, presents far ...
installation of disc filters in general would lower the base concentration in the river and consequently to some degree lower the risks for drinking water consumers in Göteborg municipality. However, installation of disc filters cannot alone lower the highest peak concentrations to meet the guideline values for raw water. Other
Mining is a notoriously dangerous occupation. Where reliable national statistics exist, mining generally ranks in the top three occupations for related diseases and fatal accidents (Vingård and Elgstrand, 2013: 6).In large-scale mining endeavors, the management of health and safety largely relies on governmental regulation of mining …

Furthermore, available studies on occupational health and safety in the min- ing sector only focused on the small-scale and informal mining sector [13][12] [14] [15].
Arsenical gold ores: ... However, cyanide is recognised by its toxicity and its use causes several public concerns for health, safety and environment protection, which limited its application in the gold industry (Hilson and Monhemius, 2006; Sousa et al., 2018). Due to ecological impacts, industry and researchers worldwide are looking for ...

History of Mining in Ghana. There is evidence of gold extraction activities in Ghana as far back as the 7th and 8th centuries A.D., as gold deposits attracted Arab traders into the country.7 These activities were strategically located along rivers where sediments believed to contain deposits of gold were washed constantly to separate the …
Electric arc welding is the most prevalent welding type in industry. It creates two main groups of health hazards for workers; fumes and gases, and radiant energy. Shielded Metal Arc (SMA) welding is the most widely used welding method in industrial plant welding shops. The main chemical health hazards associated with this type of …

Results. It was found that 41% of the sampled groups were exposed to higher crystalline silica levels above the (NIOSH) permissible exposure limit (PEL) level of 0.05 mg/m 3.For DPM, 49% of these groups had exposures above the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) PEL level of 160 μg/m 3.Among the 94 mine workers …
