no just money Yeah but It's gold, so does it really matter? Answer: Gold itself is inert and does not pollute. However mining and purification processes used to extract gold use chemicals such as cyanide and Mercury which do pollute. The use of gold in plating and other uses can also release chemicals into the environment. Some gold for medical purposes is radioactive and can be considered a health problem (pollution) if released.
