MINERÍA ILEGAL DE MERCURIO pone bajo amenaza salud y medio ambiente | EL PAÍS

In cities like San Joaquín, the price of mercury has soared more than tenfold in the last 15 years, rising from $20 per kilogram in 2011 to between $240 and $350. #Mercury #Mining #Pollution Subscribe to our channel:    / @elpais   Visit http://elpais.com More EL PAÍS videos: youtube.com/@elpais/videos This week's news: https://acortar.link/FLHsHe Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ elpaismexico Twitter:   / elpaismexico   Instagram:   / elpaismexico
