The number of blood, urine and hair samples collected varies between
different markets, based on the degree of response of donors from these
markets, according to it. Taking samples in every market where we explain the
damages resulting from the direct use of mercury in the event of non-
compliance with the use of appropriate safety tools.
In order not to coagulate, blood samples were collected in sample collection
tubes containing the anticoagulant heparin. Urine samples were collected in
sterile 50 ml containers. Hair samples were collected from the two metals in
small plastic bags and then closed.
Then, three samples of soil, represented by each market, were collected in
plastic bags, weighing a kilogram for each sample of gold waste tracks, in order
to know the degree of pollution to the environment, especially the soil outside
the markets, which in turn is reflected in the extent to which the trucks that
transport the ball to the factories conform to the required specifications. These
were analyzed Samples to determine the extent of contamination with toxic
elements such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, thallium and sodium cyanide.
Six samples of mining residues were also collected from each market under
study in plastic bags approximately one kilogram for each sample, and the
remaining mercury was analyzed in them.
Samples Storage :
After taking the blood samples from the two minerals, they were kept in ice
containers until they reached the lab. Once they reached the lab, the
centrifugation process was used to obtain the serum, and then they were kept in
the refrigerator at 4 degrees Celsius in the central lab, Shambat complex, until
the analysis was done. Also in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4 degrees
Celsius until the analysis is carried out. As for the samples of vegetables, meat
and whole animals, then dried air inside the lab, they were placed at room
temperature until the analysis was conducted. Hair samples were also placed at
room temperature until the analysis was performed, and that was used.
Sample Preparation:
The process of preparing and analyzing samples was based on global
methods that depend on internationally known sources and references with high
efficiency in the accuracy of the results. The preparation of various samples of
blood, urine, hair, vegetables, meat and soil for the purpose of detecting and
focusing elemental mercury and other toxic elements was done in a lucky way,
where a 0.5 gram was taken from the sample . In the digestion vial, 1 ml of
distilled water was added to it, 2 ml of compound HNO3 -HCLO4, and 5 ml of
H2SO4 , then heated at a temperature of 230 ° C for 30 minutes, then cooled the
digested eye and then completed to The volume of 50 ml was added to the
distilled water, where it was analyzed to find out the concentration of mercury.
The process of preparing the various samples was carried out - at the Crops
Department Center - Faculty of Agriculture - University of Khartoum.
Sample Testing:
1-Then the samples were analyzed in the central laboratory, Shanbat complex,
to find out the concentration of elemental mercury and other toxic elements in
the soil mentioned previously in the collection of samples, paragraph 2, using
the Atomic Absorption AA 6800 device, equipped with a special and highly
efficient mercury Hydride Vapor Generator. It is worth mentioning that this unit
was then used for the first time. Only once since he brought it to the lab to read
where this project is, so it is considered highly sensitive in the accuracy of the
results.
2-Other analyzes such as pH, EC, TSS, TDS were performed using a multi-
purpose pH-meter, and sodium cyanide was analyzed using a Spectrometer,
UV/Visble.
3-Other microbial analyzes of water samples were analyzed in the
microbiological laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum
4- Air pollution was detected using the Aeroqual gaseous air pollution detector,
as well as the Aerocet device for measuring particulate matter in the air, which
was brought to the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, University of Khartoum.
Readings were taken with the help of engineers from the Faculty of Chemical
Engineering, University of Khartoum.

3-The presence of high levels of elemental mercury in the blood, urine or hair of
the miners may also be exposed to pollution for long periods. The longer the
period of the metal steering wheel in the market, the higher the degree or
percentage of pollution, especially for those who work in basins as well as those
who work directly burning mercury for the purpose of purification
5- The results show that the samples of soil that were invaded from the tracks in
all the markets were performed by the Jeddah market and most of the samples
from the market of one tiger are contaminated with elemental mercury and some
of them are at very high rates more than what is allowed globally, which
indicates that most of the means of transport used to transport wastes from the
markets do not conform to the specifications and therefore it must be returned
6-All samples of gold residues in all markets were found in very high
concentrations of elemental mercury, which indicates that gold residues are the
first and main source of pollution.
7-The results of any vegetable samples collected from the markets of Gedaref,
the Red Sea and South Kordofan states showed varying percentages of mercury
concentrations, some of them jurisprudence the internationally recommended
limits in the news in many additions, which indicates that the condition of the
vegetable markets in these markets is improper, which exposes them to direct
contamination with the element Mercury
9- The results showed that the samples of the animal’s kidneys, which were
taken from the markets of Abu Hamad, severely strangled, and Al-Bishrah
Shawar Al-Qardoud have varying concentrations, and some of them are very
high in elemental mercury, which indicates that the animals in the mining
environment are also susceptible to contamination with elemental mercury.
Recommendations :
4-Develop a plan to stop the use of mercury used in traditional mining and find
alternative solutions
