The book "Mining Activities in Obuasi, Ghana" by Joseph Yaw Yeboah provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of mining activities on the environment and the health of the population in Obuasi, one of Ghana's most well-known mining towns. It highlights the challenges associated with mining and examines the measures taken by mining companies to minimize negative effects on local residents. Despite the positive claims made by mining companies, this work also points out the significant social, health, and ecological costs associated with the mining industry. By applying both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the findings and recommendations in this book will be of great value to various stakeholders, including mining companies, government and non-governmental organizations, and development institutions. The insights aim to contribute to the formulation and implementation of policies that consider both the economic benefits of mining and the needs of the affected communities.
