Abstract	Mercury is used at industrial and mining levels, the latter being the one that generates the greatest impact due to its inadequate use. Although the time of the industrial revolution brought new applications for this metal and its compounds, it also generated a high environmental pollution and occupational risk. In recent years the industry as well as small-scale and subsistence mining has sought to replace it with its processes to avoid the damage it can cause to the environment as to the people who use it; however, in the latter it has been difficult given the great proliferation and little education and awareness of the use of this, in addition to underdevelopment in mining techniques. That is why, in Geneva - Switzerland, an agreement was signed to eradicate the use of mercury and prevent its release into the atmosphere, soil, water produced by industry and mining, the main activities that use it. Colombia approves the Minamata agreement until 2018 with Law 1892, but begins to control the use of mercury with Law 1658 of 2013, this article makes a literature review of the policies for compliance with the aforementioned Law , in addition to identifying some technological tools that can help eliminate the use of mercury, and the social and environmental analysis around it, obtaining results such as the limitations that the people who exercise subsistence mining have with respect to the technological tools to perform this activity.
