Arsenic pollution at Obuasi Goldmine, town, and surrounding countryside.

Abstract

Human hair samples from mine workers and Obuasi citizens; various food items; drinking and washing water from Obuasi town; vegetation and soils from the countryside bordering on the goldmine; and geological materials from the mining process were collected and analyzed by volumetric, gravimetric, colorimetric, and neutron activation methods in order to assess the degree of arsenic pollution brought about as a result of the goldmining operations at Obuasi.
