Environmental Impacts of Gold Mining Brilliant Earth
The use of mercury in gold mining is causing a global health and environmental crisis. Mercury, a liquid metal, is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to extract gold from rock and sediment. Unfortunately, mercury is a toxic substance that wreaks havoc on miners’ health, not to mention the health of the planet.

Environmental Effects Of Gold Mining TheWorldCounts
The environmental effects of gold mining are devastating. Gold mining generates inconceivable amounts of waste. Every 40 seconds, gold mining produces the weight of the Eiffel Tower in waste. In less than 5 days, you could cover the city of Paris with “Waste” Towers. The true price of jewelry. About 50% of all gold is made into jewelry.

Dirty Gold's Impacts Earthworks
Gold mining is one of the most destructive industries in the world. It can displace communities, contaminate drinking water, hurt workers, and destroy pristine environments. It pollutes water and land with mercury and cyanide, endangering the health of people and ecosystems. Producing gold for one wedding ring alone generates 20 tons of waste.
