This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features

Kalimantan miners Sukardi and Suwarni (foreground) spend hours in a pond mixing mercury with ore to separate out the gold, while exposing themselves to the toxic metal. Workers also use the mercury-tainted water for drinking and bathing.

本月每日一图主题：国家地理杂志专题

加里曼丹岛的矿工Sukardi和Suwarni（前）在一个含汞的池塘里花了很长时间从矿石中分离金子，而他们自己却完全暴露在这种有毒金属中。工人们也拿这些被汞污染了的水来饮用和洗澡。
