Background: The majority of small-scale gold miners worldwide, including those in Mozambique, use mercury to extract gold. Over the last fifty years, gold production from small-scale mining has been accelerating and consequently the amount of mercury released to the environment has increased dramatically, causing major global health problems. In 2018, a team from the Danish […]
Hvem er vi
Diálogos er en frivillig organisation, der arbejder med at fremme sundhed i fattige lande som Bolivia, Uganda, Nepal og Filippinerne. Målet er at forebygge sygdomme, blandt andet som følge af dårligt arbejdsmiljø. Vi arbejder via seriøse lokale partnere, der er aktive blandt lokalsamfundets græsrødder.
Empowerment af målgruppen er en vigtig del af projekterne. Diálogos udnytter de aktive medlemmers individuelle faglige kompetencer og erfaringer til kvalificering og udvikling af projekterne. Fokusområder for projekterne er samspillet mellem sundhed, arbejdsmiljø og miljø, som fx interkulturel medicin, og sprøjtemidler. Vi er finansieret af danske udviklingsmidler.

Training of Small Scale Miners and their Families in Safe Handling of Mercury During Extraction of Gold in the Philippines. Improving Access to Social Services: health services and income opportunities for Small Scale Miners and Their Families
SummaryTwo small-scale mining districts were investigated: Sibutad in Zamboanga del Norte on Mindanao, and several villages in Camarines Norte: Barangay Casalugan, Paracale; Barangay Luklukan, Jose Panganiban and Barangay Gumaus, Paracale on southern Lu- zon. A brief visit was also paid to milling stations for small-scale miners in Benguet North of Manila. The main finding of […]
Mercury Pollution from Small-Scale Gold Mining Can Be Stopped by Implementing the Gravity-Borax Method – A Two-Year Follow-Up Study from Two Mining Communities in the Philippines
Abstract Mercury is used globally to extract gold in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. The mercury-free gravity-borax method for gold extraction was introduced in two mining communities using mercury in the provinces Kalinga and Camarines Norte. This article describes project activities and quantitative changes in mercury consumption and analyzes the implementation with diffusion of innovations theory. Activities […]
