Book Synopsis Informal Gold Mining and Mercury Pollution in Brazil by : Dan Biller
Book excerpt: The gold rush in the Amazon region is creating serious environmental problems that imperil future generations. Mercury pollution is a particularly serious problem that should be addressed through an education campaign, through the use of more appropriate (and inexpensive) extraction technologies, and through an effective combination of command and control measures and market- based incentives.
