Abstract
Background: An estimated 0.5 to 1.5 million informal miners, of whom 30-50% are women, rely on artisanal
mining for their livelihood in Tanzania. Mercury, used in the processing gold ore, and arsenic, which is a constituent
of some ores, are common occupational exposures that frequently result in widespread environmental
contamination. Frequently, the mining activities are conducted haphazardly without regard for environmental,
occupational, or community exposure. The primary objective of this study was to assess community risk knowledge
and perception of potential mercury and arsenic toxicity and/or exposure from artisanal gold mining in Rwamagasa
in northwestern Tanzania.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of respondents in five sub-villages in the Rwamagasa Village located in Geita
District in northwestern Tanzania near Lake Victoria was conducted. This area has a history of artisanal gold mining
and many of the population continue to work as miners. Using a clustered random selection approach for
recruitment, a total of 160 individuals over 18 years of age completed a structured interview.
Results: The interviews revealed wide variations in knowledge and risk perceptions concerning mercury and
arsenic exposure, with 40.6% (n=65) and 89.4% (n=143) not aware of the health effects of mercury and arsenic
