Impacts of Artisanal Gold Mining on Water Quality in Uganda
ASCGM is prevalent in many developing nations, providing livelihoods for numerous communities. However, this form of mining often leads to significant environmental degradation, particularly affecting water resources.
The study aims to assess the concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in both water and sediment samples, evaluate the associated health risks, and contribute to a better understanding of the environmental impacts of ASCGM in the region. By focusing on the Kitengure Stream, the research seeks to inform strategies for mitigating the adverse effects of mining activities on local ecosystems and public health.
