TL;DR: The burden of diarrhoeal diseases from exposure to inadequate water, sanitation and hand hygiene in low‐ and middle‐income settings and an overview of the impact on other diseases are estimated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically searched five electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycNET, and CINAHL) for studies assessing the association between exposure to e-waste and outcomes related to mental health and neurodevelopment, physical health, education, and violence and criminal behaviour, from Jan 1, 1965 to Dec 17, 2012, and yielded 2274 records.

TL;DR: To assess the impact of inadequate water and sanitation on diarrhoeal disease in low‐ and middle‐income settings, a large number of patients in low- and middle-income settings are exposed to faeces-based infectious diseases.

TL;DR: The basis for these key concerns is described in the State of the Science of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals - 2012, that includes scientific information on human and Wildlife impacts and lists key concerns for decision makers and others concerned about the future of human and wildlife health.

TL;DR: Global, national, and local levels efforts must aim to create safe recycling operations that consider broad security issues for people who rely on e-waste processing for survival, and reduce pregnant women and children’s e-Waste exposures to mitigate harmful health effects.
