the the straight pieces, the around the world more than 130000000 people us we all mine because no one should have to make up your own mind. dw may 4 mines in the lumber, indonesia a power dies island. the

tools over a 1000000 to is to you, get the nice that smoke, honey kills is a hidden treasure. gold. and that's why the island has one of the densest populations of gold miners in indonesia, southeast asia is biggest go to produce. but this industry is fueled by a debt for dotius mercury. net. but we want to get the goal. one group of medical they could kill and make you a health problem. indeed, some patients have symptoms that suggest poisoning of my mind. and my dad adds the talks and is spreading further about the medical area and that this is the level at which you have to evacuate out, quasi luxury is how you're fully regulated. multi $1000000000.00 goes mining industry. how did this make sure we get here? and why is it being used?

this is what i do. the has to be very careful, very distrusting of john with his knowledge any on the body. we must constantly one the public about the risk. the n g is working in and around sacred tone. an area consisting of 3 small villages has counted nearly 50 children, born with new, logical, and physical best effects since 2018 minus gotta step and then what's your name, your eco, the you're new here here. yeah, but i find that i'll just say me today for these children are being examined by

a concern like hold up to the done now started with seizures, and now he's constantly drooling where he's worried that may be a common spread time that conditions together in some patients have symptoms that suggest poisoning of i'm, i'm very concerned because i also have a young child and i say that we all know that mercury poisoning has terrible repercussions and there is no cure. then at the bottom about that there were you exposed to lots of mercury before she was born data? medically? yes. e. and what does the season started when she was one lady down the going to nevada. she's also deaf west. so i see that the plus what i'm worried about not jury somebody because you hear a lot about. it's a fact that the medical people outside you to exposure to match,

we can cause it was a simple and even faithful. ha. and this is well documented. this previous major disasters serving is stuck reminders of the risks. it poses this child of 6 as an even more severe case. she is incapable of expressing herself and barely reacts to light. naturally, poisoning was one's tie to college and to ration and manufacturing. however, by the 21st century, most industries adopted alternative met to a free production methods. then a new danger in much is your husband a gold minor? yes, yes. the story of informal goals, mining and loan book style sheet around 15 years ago when locals spoke she's, you know, put unity, large mining company found, and lots deposits in lumber local people started to think about, oh,

if that was gold for large scale for obee can get the small scale one. so they thought they could get, you know, the crumbs from the big guys just had even been in full mining to cough, eventually producing more gold than corporate mining companies. up until now, the gold lining activities, especially the small scale illegal, illegal, and elicit normally secretary of about their work to day $19.00, a has agreed to share his story. now messiah part of a $95.00 by a lie of the it on both. my name is thought to them by indigo. i was born in law, right? yeah. so i'll go to, yeah. yeah. and i did a lot of typical to work and the fresh air was efficient. and my goal is to do this, how to load and off, because it now is when it the so let's say i chose to become a 1000000 out and really because like it doesn't have to be here.

the other have to pam i quickly before i leave the house because look like stuff out of my minding tools. yeah. this to the trip then take 2 hours right down to the it's getting late to such a hurry to work. a lot of that as i well how firms and some including my uncles and other relatives, i have real gold miners just like me. my new the i the from them about the

is that us and i feel a sense of joy when i get to the present on the follow the sound big scene. yeah. the yeah, i got all the people i work with. so i'm like my brothers. so dannetta the fall off, so i do laurie west, it's not true was the i the, the an estimate is $22000.00 people in lumber depend on small scale gold mining to earn a living excavation precariously from the steep mountain side. it's not hold on and it's personal mind, but he doesn't go to that noon . it's currently is a 16 meters deep is naturally small frame and muscular bills provide him with a particular advantage. when descending into the dense,

the, most of the muscle, we need to prioritize our safety and let me go down the hall and i do the the, the work is extremely dangerous. low oxygen level of intense heat falling wilks flash floods and gas leaks when that told people, tools of a few of the risks only recently, if i told them and blocks out due to a lack of oxygen along, good us, i'm just fine. i have my god, i'm standing by my colleagues thought i was that you know what i mean. again, i'll go ahead and add the a funny. but i have to do

is pull the color of this. rock is white. that's good. the problem. and then there are holes of greens and yellows, and it has black veins. you've got 9 to work standing very good. but the wheels angel begins with sold on and we tend to know he was processed the or to extract the gold. and meant to be is the key component yeah. well then the finally get home by the pound, the, or from the mountain into smaller pieces. is that the, the, that the little but there was a, did the rocks are placed in a bowl mail where they are combined with weights and hundreds of pieces of water. gradually they breaks down into the settlement position, mercury,

and the bowman to collect the call to see that i'm doing. i mean it is poured into the bowl middle to bind with a go the mouth to reduce and burned away, leaving behind pure gold and poisoned dispute. finally, the toxic waste whole time is discard age into the environment. the socket hospital officials came to my house to explain the risk to mercury to us. but there's nothing i can do. we don't know how to process the order without using good you right? by the night bucket i found all i know i to be done. murder is the next really has or does metal the can have severe consequences on human health and the

environment. it can cause minimize the disease, which is a serious condition leading coma or relative death can also cause new or logical disorders, especially children. it can cross the human flush center leading to the birth defects and other logical problems globally 20 percent to the annual go production comes from informal miners like federal ron in indonesia. moco may be produced like this, that informal mining operations. to complicate matches, the minus pulling mills often located near the filters. the contaminated waste water then finds its way into drinking wells. rice patties and the

rivers in seems where people fish partially open, leafy, and like one level of accomplish uh, something i think i uh, research conducted by several universities such as my thought i'm university. sure, the mercury is present in festivals and fruits and other food production and lumber are falling into. that's where you put them up to find them. yeah. so if anything to the new matter, we get to know the name and get it into the toxicity of the mercury doesn't just cause problems where the miners work. it also spreads to other places may i put in with. and i knew that some of that may be something that i brought up and, but then when i and but that's not who naturally, which is central tendency to be an accumulates in the air until one day. some way it falls as toxic rain, the news, wherever the wind takes in my mind. yeah, the can't escape,

it doesn't happen. data naturally does not break down in the environment to move it used to move is accumulates, building up in the food chain. the today, federal rahman is a happy a, you know, i'm saying is a tape. i think it's about off a graph that's was around 300000 group. yeah. but i science. i have the yeah that's i'm thrilled. that smells and twice the amount in daily is officially measured. what costs were this car? so his family, neighbors, and community, this is the only metal, this is liquid room temperature. mix it with cold and watch

a mesmerizing ritual funding on for the 1st and part of china is told to have died off to consuming mandatory in his pursuit of immortality. he was not the last abraham lincoln, the pirate king, black beard and isaac, new old disease to us, suffered from that to be poisoning. in the 20th century, mercury continued to be used in medicines like boats. some moments was caused metrics and mold within the 1950s a much we leak as a factory in the seaside town has many montage upon kills, move the 900 people and left thousands permanently disabled. here is another child whose father died. minimize the disease,

her levels are deformed. that is often the title regulations around the world. by 2013 a global treaty, the minimum of a conventional met to a was born. today, $99.00 countries, including indonesia, rectified the convention, mandating them to protect the citizens from the dangers of this deadly metal. yes, this tract continues the in level as a result of goals mining. not sure to use headstrom to increase and that is a size and a complication. so they've been, yeah, on the form of this,

i meant the difficulty of diagnosing that jury poisoning is that the symptoms of similar to those of other diseases automatically to what not to refine starting the exception of the symptoms that appear very similar to those of many in your logical disorders lane, that's how they get a number of tests on needed to ensure the symptoms are really due to mercury poisoning with the better and and use of previously collected samples in long bulk. but the efforts will not extend concerned with his active action today, doctor is leading a team to conduct bio mancha testing. that's the community. what if i've seen? yeah, uh, kind of nice problem consensus old. we have to find out just how big the problem is . first on that list, especially rahman,

and to somebody said debbie i fat bionic good. hello sir. my name is dr. de la. my areas of innovation is a mining hot spot. and just in my center, we want to monitor people's health and the impact of the match or re hook on. we would like to test you, your wife and child, at least on the physical cognitive test to carry it out. did you take the signs of poisoning? do i put the phone on like a site visit less with them, right? i don't. why the? because don't have to change. if i looks like it is starting to whiten up on my new out of my yeah. let me move to here to fill out the chase of metal units, the board tingling sensation, maybe that and that, yes, sometimes it does sound like

how long has a child including uncontrollably? again, sometimes it last for 2 or 3 days. then the team takes half and to nail south pools. yeah, i don't do that as i got released to have been examined by the daughters a lot of shots to the said you've got to get the investigation continues with a search from that curia need. and the last moment this is a little mix portable mercury analyzer that did me or not. this device allows us to measure the mercury in the air at a specific location that us out a lot. so the analyzer generates results immediately a reading about $1000.00 is considered safe going forward.

but here's the results of what 8657. the funds in the us, the medically mercury concentration in the around this ball mill is between a 1010000 nanograms per cubic meter leasing in the thousands of 10000 to the number of where you have to evacuate. if i don't see this, i am not based on these results. i feel that mister fucking ramon in his family's health are endangered. and um yes, i know it's hopefully taking it back if he could reach 10000 with uh, our initial findings indicate that to them. um, as hell sessions. so, but that's the number of exams show that the coordination is the left and right. there's many of them come on well on that and i'm with them on his ability to

coordinate fine motor skills is full, so slow up and the average person. that's it. that is all now. uh we can see there already some issues. i'm about a dozen one mamma but the tests may have come too late for 5 around in sun. i thought possible while i'm on the bus went well. once i got on the line, the best loans as to how to do it, a lot of daylight to us and hope and yeah, i realized he didn't want to suckle side that as i kept him home today, i don't mean that bundle on or but i think i hope to talk to right away. so helping a young people adults took

a biopsy to investigate the issue. the problem was it has been tested or something . yeah. they were not functioning properly. yeah. might be so they could not their mind due to his deformed and test gains. federal government's child isn't able to move his spouse instead, the excrement needs to be set out. so the to on a daily basis is out on pennbrook a and you get that. yeah, the doctor told me how to treat as i can only myself, my wife can carry on a procedure. i know a lot by the unable. yeah. and yes, but this can only be a temporary fix. the, again, any that i'm going to see to send in is expose to mercury via the time of a little behind the baby's, susceptible to molecular and genetic changes where instead of getting it big. yeah, that can lead to an amount of teeth as the organs phone, but i'm looking to get a little behind on on them. but the bottom of the bottom i scans as

a search and said he needs to be operated on the same time. but i don't have the money because i don't have insurance costs around 30000000 group us. but it's a little busy and i don't have that kind of money. so cuz i and the, these trials, illness is less defensive, around the, in the enviable position of having to mine more to be able to pay for the surgery. just over the next 2 days, the team collects half a nail cuttings from 9 more individuals. it will take a month for the samples to be analyzed into that the do you usually get, you know, those codes you'd be a star. if you did pass the results might provide on some of those

testing number. it is just a microcosm. the 4th remains a wide spectral across much of the donation. in wishing to set the data alone, probably $1000.00 times a year. $1000.00 tons of memory. one drop of medical record kill and, and make you make your health problem. but we're talking about 1000 ton grams up here and all over indonesia, 3500 tons the the, the health issues faced by central rahman or tucson. and i know it's unique to them

. but in many countries as opposed to doing informal mind. also using metrics to extract in asia, the problem is brought to the most run point in indonesia where they're over 850 small scale mining hotspots across the country. the nobody knows exactly how much mercury is being used. estimates vary wildly from 300 tons to over 3500. was using? is it the or at least $300000.00 minus, using met to in indonesia. each it's in use is up to 20 parts met to me, to every possible goal recovered. this is a problem to the indonesian government who has committed internationally to deal

with mercury f. one printing on martha implemented mazda convention is a binding international agreements them in the countries. the aims to protect human is on the environment from the dangers of mercury by m equity in the set and denise jo ratified the minimize a convention with a 2017 loan now and its own ready. according to the national action plan, indonesia has committed to eliminating the use of met journey by 2020. the following. i met with some with the national action plan, includes policies that the adoption of alternative technology is because processing and the tougher enforcement flows is also recommend that the production of met. so we should be start. this starts with the pro addition as a mining of an old code cinema which mercury is made from the. there are

a couple of things that can be done to stop for all this problem created by mercury and indonesia. so 1st is to stop the extraction or mining of snow bar, including the smelting and the process to produce medically from the or and the 2nd is prohibitive. the cell trade of memory, including exportation mining and was finding signal in indonesia is not against the little if you have autonomy. but the government has not issued any time. it's making it de facto illegal. regardless, a see question and a list of domestic production and supply chains and that q rate is still possibly a today's price, $3500.00 tons of met to

a could be was over 370000000 us dollars. the where did this in of our or come from colors according to my information, to send the ball came from setup. i went into the most and i'm to be able to do that. in indonesia, you have to have a backup. so you will be able to continue the business and activities without any disturbance. so this high rank of the shows could be police, military or a government official. and we heard from morris, and i like to tell stories from people underground that there are some important people picking up their businesses. we contacted the ministry of environment and forestry. it was used to comment on the elicit mercury trade. one of the largest and about mines in indonesia is allegedly on sarah island in my

little crew products. and despite its illegal nature, it can be seen from space. the satellite pictures taken in august 2022. the blue tags hides the mining activity and machinery that allow mine is to excavate to send about old local journalist a trying to expose this illegal activities the or someone's i'm going to the mountain to find this in about my new number. so yeah, my name is reese, the, i'm a journalist, you will not lease custodians i am in my daily reporting. so comes primarily the environment on an indigenous people in my life. i know it's not like you must have had that the model good on my local data that i want to talk to the mining

activities didn't become independent so so. so like yeah, on the side of them keep them up. it's very difficult to get in. like i said, i have to be very careful because i love the very distrusting of journalists, because they can expose the information to the public. this illegal mining still exist as somebody regarding the much i've done with law. i'm try to get protection from the village head, whether mine is situated, but failed to get that done well, the media to expose your mind to a tools to several minds that he knew opened up about people who receive bro, i'm just calling you to get somebody to buy that's widely believed by police officers are involved in what people gotten to the 30 but then practically shot well to respond. so in person can phone. decentralize imagery, the film,

the formerly he's moved on. so i found the minus 10 top here in the middle of the mountains near the mirror about 1000 meters above sea level. that again, so stupid to me that you think lots of tents been set up and there was no wave activity would go unnoticed. thousands of tents now it's important some of the notes. this raises the question, even with the southern counties, a coordinating cup, hunting, applying, di attends to shut down the mines. what publicized in the media in 20172020. but as resigned found out, these attempts have failed. and did the memo,

the slaps that they were still active, cinnabon, mining and engine nokia needed for instead of the is due to a couple of things. in the memo i discussed being we saw in forestman in the can who can get on this is due to several factors. for example, the involvement of nor enforcement offices, old and lack of resources in the field. i still am on monday. the on sarah is believe to be some of the purists in the world. this creates an alluring opportunity for those with intentions. supply and then yeah, and it's almost done by pushing them back to discovery. i've seen a bar in sit around and the other parts of eastern indonesia where there's been a bar about indonesia has become an ex border of mercury. and that is the largest supporter. yes. do you mind? yeah. putting this out on the books. i mean that, that, that be so sorry, based on the dates or i have compile, let's get some new kind of officials appeared to be involved in

a go. i thought she's been some couple me sonia and i suppose these come with me, not going to die. we trace the quotes document when i did underneath the undiscovered a shipment of synagogue, had been delivered using an engine easy and a national armed forces truck with a driver. and i remember play g, and then i found a movie then you got, but i'm more than a get lined up. i can get with somebody. then i also found a court ruling and numbers where the police were involved in trading mercury, me, but a lumber gladly can according invoice and to use illegal refineries have been spoke to you. jean bowen, vogel and john bond. the dad constantly on the move to is a detection a no response believes that there are also refineries on sarah 9. and

the name of this document that are there is activity that they have. the results are on the top that is used for distillation. the, the kind of look more into them. the was the influx of domestic mercury, indonesian gold miners now have a plentiful supply of the toxic metal traditionally. so through a middle man, it's currently available on social media platforms, like facebook, best sellers provide delivery right to the minus dose. then we checked with facebook quiet. this is happening, but they have yet to reply. it was an innocent, but highly functional supply chain. mercury is finding its way into the hands of gold. mine is full of indonesia. this is welcome news to the minus inspector tongue . drum bulk by the majority of the population of reliant on goes mining for

anything. just one grams goal is was very hawks. the usual monthly minimum wage no gold linings in poultry because there's no other one from the some why. so you can only mine here in secretary cut off by you . if you don't use mercury, you call and get the call among the, even if you could see the golden rule, i couldn't get into a, i found a mazda, i bought the them not, not at the expense of trying their best to convince the miners to change the ways to get that money into, but i just need to ask some of the next step to get that to them. when we went to the field, we trying to educate the miners when it gets out of our medical. it's a little uh, something that they know that mercury is very toxic, i think, and then, but they don't want to be banned from using an eye on the ladder and wound up. i'm going to quickly. so when we tried to talk to them and educate them,

they turned against the land. yeah. any, i remember talking to you then i'm not going to get that. yeah. on my side. okay. look here, he has this disadvantage and do with it also has the voltages either confusing at the beginning. you ever hear me? yeah. what i got, but now they were ultimately of the opinion that is their risk to take under icicle . get that what mine is might those understand is a slow a didn't city is the sights of mercury poisoning. these can include mental emotional disease, the serious condition that can lead to paralysis neurological disorders and local research. doctor, previously ledger team to carry out testing on 10 individuals in secretaries. now the results of back to naturally concentrations in the safe threshold is 1200000. none of the people tested within the safe threshold. no,

no account minus samples came back 26.7 times high as in the safe level. kindly who used to be a minus registered 9.8 time type. his child $5.00 times the safe level. casual romans result showed you reading. it was 12.7 times higher, while his baby boy nice you recorded full times, the safe level, the what you get from the additional things to quote those. uh, so i'm say that the result is very, very loud. mean, and that we should be very concerned about this protest results back up the initial findings as a community of examinations. the 1st clinical assign, usually happen within 5 years. for example,

the capability of this month or the nation is being being effective. the 2nd phase of symptoms often much most of the patients can present with opens a new or logical decline that that yeah. then don't daddy disability depends on how much mercury is in the body and the person's resistance to mercury, which buries highly seniors that might be. naturally, poisoning is more likely to impacts children and severely along these idea by you need them. you have, i'm using your law here. i mean, yes and up i'm going to baby is born that has been exposed to mercury bundle. they may look normal, you know, i hear the word. they may have defects depending on the disorder that occurred during the development of the babies organs and the wound up on the side unless i buy a supplement book on, on that for the children and the secretary of the results from the test. since

other available evidence would strongly suggest that the severe illness is being caused by mercury. in such a scenario of international aspects advise immediate action such as the evacuation of polluted areas. in reality, this is unlikely to happen here. the n g is not given up. so in low bulk, they've introduced a new method of extracting gold from the old by using mills that make use of cyanide. instead of that to be the table by 2 co operative filter processing clock. so cyanide is extremely poisonous. the residual danger of environmental buildup is low compared to match me my name and that's

a data on investment. the sy, in addition process is much safer because when cyanide is mixed with water, it immediately breaks down into nitrogen. again, it's actually safe for the environment and the uh, what the legal in my godaddy when the miners were using the mercury process. but they only yielded 20 grams of gold. you have been a little something painted on salt when they used to sign edition. they use that 60 to a 100 grams of gold, and that's what got them interested process. yeah, he does. he does on the ground execution, prove tricky that the process works. directing gold using mercury is a quick process to put, it only takes 2 to 3 hours to get the gold was done separately. got debit sign edition can take 72 hours or 3 days to get the gold see. yeah, the how do you that's not the only 100 minus like fast. what rahman? usually whole as most 2 sacks of will also mountain each day. but processing with

cyanide requires a huge amount of will in one go. ideally a 150 facts. even if individual minus could afford the weight, the cost of extraction is too high. the to potential rewards of scaling a ton to sing the products of informal goals minus or over indonesia could be huge . but to achieve this, the government has many obstacles to overcome. escape when that gets, even though the 2025 target is 100 percent mercury and refrain. because of the fact is, demetrius is still being used in the fields to be left on talking the supply of mercury is one possible solution for funding by a government should strictly prohibit cinnabon lining again. so not the issue. permits is even stronger. international regulations may help. so one shortcoming

or the minimum of the convention in respect of small scale mining is that the treaty regards. this mining as a allowed use for mercury positions should be the other way around, that mercury should be banned, produced naturally continues to be so originally used by gold minors or this black markets and not shut down. ultimately, it is the youngest generation and the generations who come off to them to pay the heaviest price, blah, blah blah. if you can give me another job begins and you can fit me from isaac, sit on the give me another job. begins that i just have yeah. the

we have from the ice is all card condition. so i'll do my best to keep my son hillside. you want a deadline. yeah. and i say, i know he's normal kid. yeah. but i'm still grateful. he was born on a model. yeah. they do. i just, i have also got a lot of friends. i hope myself to have to be healthy. soon the

people are fighting over water in the name the struggle has increasingly attended herders against farmers. everyone needs the precious resource to survive the day is a new man who wants to mediate these disputes to stop the vicious cycle of violence and 3 and residents before it's too late. in 30 minutes on the w gym and also my kids have been hoping to become market lead is for isla been to see one day plus the dream seems to be citing

with cheap imports from china long is that this brand still to are electric vehicles and more combustion cost will the gym and e v bubble wrap it in 90 minutes on d. w. the tips for your package and the magic corner. feel free to use. check on some great cultural memorials to boot regarding the

this is the news lar, from the whole photo touch to get product. so keep up the pressure on my name and nathan. yeah. whose government, as her boss says, it's starting. it's rose later, too far from the 4th. it also coming off the special steps office, the docs on ukraine, heading energy infrastructure. and of course, it comes as long do you, the ministry age from the us is set to an i, as in the country and south africa and box code to us since the end of apartheid. we look at how to.
