Small-scale gold mining is a significant source of Hg to the environment and may reach an annual input of about 450 t of Hg mostly in South America Russia and Asia. Countries of the Amaon Basin and Russia are the major contributors. On a regional scale this source can contribute to more than 50 of the total Hg anthropogenic emission. Because of amalgam burning and bullion smelting under
