A recent scientific investigation by RoNAG researchers has revealed alarming levels of heavy metal contamination in boreholes and rivers serving the Atatem community in the Adansi Asokwa District. While basic water quality parameters appeared normal, laboratory analysis uncovered dangerously high concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead—far exceeding WHO safety limits.
Key Findings: Over 73% of groundwater samples were classified as unfit for drinking Heavy metals pose serious cancer risks for both adults and children Children are 3–4 times more vulnerable to non-carcinogenic effects than adults Chromium presents a long-term ecological threat to soil and aquatic life
The study concludes that illegal mining (galamsey) is the primary source of this contamination, creating an urgent public health crisis. RoNAG is using these findings to advocate for legal recognition of nature's rights and immediate remediation measures.
