Dell Social Innovation Competition - OroClean.m4v

Of all the environmental problems we face today one of the most important surely is mercury pollution - it travels the atmosphere, gets into the food chain and ends up on your dinner table. Mercury affects billions of people all over the world!
Each year, 350.000 children are born in the US with learning disabilities caused by mercury pollution adding up to $8,6 billion dollars in lost productivity.
Surprisingly, 30% of all mercury pollution comes from small-scale gold mining in rural areas in South America and Asia.
We have a mechanical solution, a centrifuge that can eliminate the use of mercury in this gold mining process and hereby triple the income of the individual miner!
We have the opportunity to do well, by doing good!
