TLDR
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.About:

Generation of electronic-waste and its impact on environment and public health in Malaysia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found out the factors that contribute to the generation of e-waste and to present the current scenario of Malaysia's ewaste management system, and they also recommended that government should develop the 3Rs initiatives to reduce, reuse, and recycle of Ewaste, while creating awareness among the society to prevent it from the negative impact on the environment through pollution and public health hazards.

Risk Analysis Approaches to Evaluating Health Impacts from Land‐Based Pollution in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
Pamela R. D. Williams,Katherine von Stackelberg,Mayra Gabriela Guerra Lopez,Ernesto Sánchez-Triana +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors question whether the principles and practice of risk analysis could be beneficial in the context of land-based pollution in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) to better support risk-based decision making.

TL;DR: The model shows that the addition of very small amounts of hydrogen in the post-combustion area can convert Br2 and Br˙ into HBr, and the effect of various parameters for increasing the HBr/Br2 ratio in the flue gas has been investigated.

Journal Article
The environment and disease: association or causation?
TL;DR: This paper contrasts Bradford Hill’s approach with a currently fashionable framework for reasoning about statistical associations – the Common Task Framework – and suggests why following Bradford Hill, 50+ years on, is still extraordinarily reasonable.
