The Minamata Convention, as the treaty will be known after it is signed by the agreeing countries formally, will set rules limiting the supply of and trade in mercury and the use of mercury in products and industrial processes. It will also lay down measures to reduce emissions from artisanal and small-scale gold mining, as also from power plants and zinc metals production facilities (Zinc Smelter, Hindustan Zinc Limited). http://ning.it/14MEbng
