Here in the rural communities of Lombok, many men are still doing illegal mining activities due to financial situation. Most of these men did not even finish school, making the job opportunities smaller for them. This mining activities are their instant solution to earn money for their family, to put food on the table. However, they face direct exposure to the hazardous element, mercury, which poses severe risks to their health. This mercury seeps through the soil, is absorbed by vegetable plants, and consumed by local communities. In addition, mercury particles spread through the air, endangering the health of the community living around the area who inhale them.
