African countries lack a precise assessment of past and future mining activities in their territories. It is therefore important to make an assessment of the true extent of the detrimental effects of metal pollutants and their impact on human and animal health as well as on ecosystems.
Mining activities cause several health impacts in miners and communities living near the mine site that may continue to be experienced even when the mine has gone. Abandoned mines are one of the
Background: Health Impact Assessment (HIA) involves assessing how proposals may alter the determinants of health prior to implementation and recommends changes to enhance positive and mitigate negative impacts. HIAs growing use needs to be supported by a strong evidence base, both to validate the value of its application and to make its application more robust.
