I know many dogs ride the "Gauteng Dunes" we have. Like Maraisburg, Chimes and in Randfontein. My girl friends dad is a Mine Manager for Anglo and told me about the Arsenic in the dust used to break down the Gold I believe? So it is obviously kak for a person to breathe it in an I assume many or most guys riding allready know about it.
My question is how bad is it? And why aren't anybody doing anything about it? What are the long term effects of exposure not only to guys riding bikes but people living near by? Or is it all a bit overhyped?
