The total excess lifetime cancer risk due to the studied carcinogenic heavy metals (As, Cr, Cd, Co and Pb) for children and adults was estimated at 5.77E−06 and 7.07E−06 respectively, implying that 6 out of 1 million children and 7 out of 1 million adults may develop excess cancer in their lifetime as a result of the exposure from heavy
The present study used soils collected from a smallscale gold mine area to determine the health risks due to trace elements to the atrisk population in the study area. The work involved 74 soil samples from
Locally, a working organization is required to undergo selfassessment and inspection. In the absence of a risk assessment tool, this paper presents the development of this tool for a systematic examination and identification of the hazards on smallscale gold mining in the Philippines.

Since mining sites are of concern internationally, this risk assessment process and associated findings are significant and can be used to inform and tailor public health interventions.
Step 1: Identify the hazards. In order to identify hazards, you need to understand the difference between a hazard and risk. A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. Further information: For example, a falling object is a hazard. Being struck on the head by a wrench can be an unwanted event associated with this hazard.

Mercury is utilized worldwide in artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM) and may pose a risk for miners and mining communities. While a number of studies have characterized mercury in ASGM communities, most have focused on a single media and few have taken a holistic approach. Here, a multiple media exposure assessment
