Populations at Special Risk
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review on some of the known factors which define populations at special risk for chemical toxicity for e-waste materials is presented, which is essential for conducting rigorous risk assessments to protect those segments of the general population which may be at greatest risk for adverse outcomes.

Organic and Inorganic Contaminants from E-waste and Their Effects on Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, an impact assessment of the chemical released into the environment shows that the pollutants have the attributes of persistence (non-biodegradable with longer environmental half-lives), bioaccumulative, and toxic in nature.

The swelling performance of raw and modified bentonite of geosynthetic clay liner as the leachate barrier exposed to the synthetic E-waste leachate
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the swelling performance of the raw and modified GCL with a hydrophilic anionic polymer called CarboxyMethyl Cellulose (CMC) with weight percentages of 8, 10, and 12 of dried bentonite against synthetic heavy metals leachate, containing copper and zinc, simultaneously and separately, based on ASTM D5890.

The environment and disease: association or causation?
TL;DR: The criteria outlined in "The Environment and Disease: Association or Causation?" help identify the causes of many diseases, including cancers of the reproductive system.
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.
