Dr Yang continued, “From these results it is clear that the ‘open’ dismantlement of e-waste must be forbidden with more primitive techniques improved. As the results show potential adverse effects on human health, workers at these sites must also be given proper protection. “Furthermore, on...
This study provides a systematic review of efforts to overcome these challenges in the context of inappropriate recycling protocols and the toxic effects of E-waste on human health and the environment. An inventory of end-of-life electronic products, which can be established through the creation ...
Pieces of evidence that associate e-waste exposure with human health effects in China are assessed. The role of toxic heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, and nickel) and organic pollutants (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), ...
I think that now researchers have linked electronic waste with the adverse effects on human health. It is time for the public to realize the harm of electronic waste, and measures should be taken to deal with this problem. One idea is to put greater responsibility on the companies that ...
E-waste,including computer waste,is causing great health and environmental concerns in the developing world.Each year,Americans deal with hundreds of millions of computer product units Most of that e-waste joins our already full landfill(垃圾填埋地) or goes to outside incinerators (焚化炉).Recentl...
Informal recycling of waste (including e-waste) is an emerging source of environmental pollution in India. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinate
Every year, 20 to 50 million tones of electrical and electronic equipment waste ("e-waste") are generated world-wide, which could bring serious risks to human health and the environment. The paper highlights the emerging problem of health and environmental impact of e-waste. 展开 ...
