and then extracted using different methods depending on the sulfide or non-sulfide nature of the ore (Wills and Napier-Munn2006). The whole process produces large amounts of tailings, which are the residues of the ore remaining after Cu extraction and contain high levels of toxic metals (e....
Chlorinated organophosphates, such as TCEP and TDCPP, used as additive flame retardants, have been reported to be toxic and carcinogenic (Kim et al., 2017). Other organophosphates, such as TBP, TPP, and TnBP, are predominantly used as plasticizers in floor wax and vinyl plastics, as well ...
It argues that removal is achieved through a bureaucratic spectacle; a process which obscures lingering residues and compounds their toxic effects. By attending to chemicals through the mundane work of removal, this paper opens up different lines of inquiry for studies of waste, and enriches ...
The year 2023 marks the mid-point of the 15-year period envisaged to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, targets for global development adopted in September 2015 by all United Nations Member States. To help track where we are on this journey, and to amplify success stories, in this ...

Plastic particles of all range sizes not only contain additives but also other anthropogenic contaminants, such as organic chemicals that are adsorbed from surrounding seawater7,17. These pollutants include persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances (PBTs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)...

A key aspect for this limitation is that the e-waste stream is categorised as hazardous due to the presence of several toxic chemicals and metal components and halogens in component materials. These are phosphor coatings of CRTs, high-lead content in the CRT funnel glass, batteries, polychlorin...
In the 7th Environment Action Programme, the European Commission targets two essential goals in the handling of substances and materials known by the buzzwords “non-toxic environment” and “circular economy”. There are numerous interfaces in product, waste and chemicals legislation in these two ar...
Countries globally trade with tons of waste materials every year, some of which are highly hazardous. This trade admits a network representation of the world-wide waste web, with countries as vertices and flows as directed weighted edges. Here we investi
