Would you want to live close to a working gold mine? Explains.

Sagot :


I would because there would be a sorce of gold I could go mine for free and go sell it for monney

Answer:

No, I wouldn't live close to a working gold mine.

Explanation:

Gold mining pollutes the surrounding area, especially contaminates water with cyanide, mercury, and other toxic substances. Soil is also depreciated  because the polluted water is absorbed in it. As a consequence, the complete ecosystem is destroyed. As a reference, consider that mining generates about 20 tons of toxic waste for every 0.333-ounce gold ring.
