The government is trying to stop this by giving better health care education and sanitation to help improve the water. Another problem is the sanitation of the region for instance the illegal mining of gold is causing mercury to be released in the region because they use it to get the gold from the water. Also they handle this dangerous element with there bare hands so its seeping into there skin and is also being released back into the air because they heat up the gold after being in mercury to clear it off of it but they are just killing themselves by releasing the element into the air. ]]> 2018-07-13 22:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/k1403316/y50krdaflf31/wish/270172957
