  • Environmental and Health Effects of Early Copper Metallurgy and Mining in the Bronze Age Sarah Martin
    Environmental and health effects of early copper metallurgy and mining in the Bronze Age Sarah Martin Abstract Copper was a vital metal to the development of the Bronze Age in Europe and the Middle East. Many mine locations and mining techniques were developed to source the copper and other elements needed for the production of arsenic or tin bronze. Mining came with many associated health risks, from the immediate risk of collapse to eventual death from heavy metal poisoning. Severe environmental pollution from mining and smelting occurred, affecting the local mining community with effects that can still be felt today. This essay aims to establish that copper mining and manufacture had dramatic effects on the environment and health of people living in Europe and the Middle East during the Bronze Age. It goes on to speculate that heavy metal poisoning may have contributed to the increase in fractures seen between the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Keywords copper, Bronze Age, mining, health, environment Introduction The Bronze Age in the Middle East and Europe occurred approximately 3200–600 BCE. During this period, the importance of copper and its alloys grew to dominate society. The earliest uses of copper occurred in the Neolithic Period before its use in tools or weapons. Copper and its ores were used for colouring in ointments and cosmetics such as the vibrantly coloured 45 The Human Voyage — Volume 1, 2017 oxide malachite. The trading and manufacturing of bronze weapons quickly became essential for the survival of Bronze Age societies in times of warfare. Bronze weapons were superior—in terms of sharpness, durability, weight and malleability—to other materials available at the time.

For the past decade, I have specialized in the use of protein electrochemistry as a means of monitoring biological electron transfer processes coupled to enzymatic chemistry and long- range, extra-cellular ET. My work has spanned the problems of redox reactivity and mechanistic chemistry of peroxidase enzymes, redox regulation and lability of novel [Fe2S2] proteins, and the mechanisms of extra-cellular ET in Shewanella. I have demonstrated the use of protein electrochemistry as a means to probe drug binding at redox proteins, and developing new electrochemical techniques for examining protein-protein interactions.
