TL;DR: In this article, a review of prevailing e-waste management practices reveals complex and often intertwined gaps, issues and challenges, including the absence of any consistent definition of ewaste to date, a prevalent toxic potential still involving already banned or restricted hazardous components such as heavy metals and persistent and bio-accumulative organic compounds, a relentless growth in ewuse volume fueled by planned obsolescence and unsustainable consumption, problematic e-recycling processes, a fragile formal e-recycling sector, sustained and more harmful informal e-cycling practices, and more convoluted

TL;DR: High-quality evidence is found that potential exposure is most frequently due to handling tasks, that workers are mostly exposed to micro-sized agglomerated NPs, and that engineering controls considerably reduce workers' exposure.

TL;DR: A review of PV system life cycle assessments reveals information deficits concerning some sensitive life cycle indicators and environmental impacts, together with incomplete information on toxicological data and studies of workers' exposure to different chemical and physical hazards.

TL;DR: Dust and particulate matter reduction strategies in these workplaces, together with training on proper working practices, would certainly be important first steps to lower occupational exposures and prevent potential health effects.

TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to show associations between OPE metabolites and sex hormones in adults and suggest that prudent avoidance should be applied in risk management of flame retardants.
