About: According to a study by the Republic of Armenia's RA National Academy of Sciences’ Center for Ecological-Noosphere Studies, mining in Armenia has been ruinous for Armenia. Mining operators have failed to neutralize dangerous contaminants which have been absorbed by the ground. The pollutants then pass from the ground to agricultural produce and then to humans. A majority of the population may be living in contaminated conditions due to pollutants from the ground. As most of the mining done in Armenia is illegal, there is the call to geographically locate these exploited mines as a means for residents to discover nearby locations and become more aware of potential health risks.
