Uno dei motivi che mi ha spinto a scrivere questo libro è stato un caso segnalato di avvelenamento da piombo nella zona di Anka, nello Stato di Zamfara, nella Nigeria nord-occidentale, che nel 2010 ha destato grande preoccupazione nell’opinione pubblica e ha causato la morte di oltre 400 persone, tra cui anche bambini. Da allora, l’estrazione artigianale dell’oro e del minerale di solfuro di piombo e zinco associato è proseguita senza ostacoli, senza rispettare le migliori pratiche minerarie, con conseguenze negative per l’ambiente e la salute umana. Il piombo e il mercurio rilasciati nell’ambiente attraverso questa attività costituiscono gravi rischi per la salute umana e hanno portato all’estrema contaminazione degli strati superficiali del suolo e, di conseguenza, delle fonti di acqua potabile, contaminandole. L’obiettivo principale del libro, oltre a sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica, è quello di contribuire a ridurre l’impatto ambientale e sanitario dell’estrazione artigianale nelle zone colpite, al fine di garantire una qualità dell’ambiente adeguata alla salute e al benessere delle comunità minerarie circostanti.
