TL;DR: The drivers behind current rises in the use of low-cost sensors for air pollution management in cities are illustrated, while addressing the major challenges for their effective implementation.
Preventing disease through healthy environments: a global assessment of the burden of disease from environmental risks
TL;DR: The main message emerging from this new comprehensive global assessment is that premature death and disease can be prevented through healthier environments – and to a significant degree.

Waste Printed Circuit Boards recycling: an extensive assessment of current status
Biplab Ghosh,Biplab Ghosh,Malay K. Ghosh,Malay K. Ghosh,Pankaj Kumar Parhi,Priyanka Mukherjee,Priyanka Mukherjee,Brahmeshwar Mishra,Brahmeshwar Mishra +8 more
TL;DR: More than 150 related articles mostly published in the last 15 years and covering the broad areas like characterization of waste printed circuit boards, health hazards associated with the processing and the different routes of recycling have been analyzed to provide a comprehensive overview on this topic as discussed by the authors.

Correlations of PCBs, DIOXIN, and PBDE with TSH in children's blood in areas of computer E-waste recycling.
Guangen Han,Gangqiang Ding,Xiaoming Lou,Xiaofeng Wang,Jianlong Han,Haitao Shen,Yu Zhou,LeYan Du +7 more
TL;DR: Among children who are exposed to persistent organic pollutants, the pollutant content increases significantly in their serum, and the distribution of TSH levels in their bodies are also affected.
Journal ArticleDOI
In utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and reduced neonatal physiological development from Guiyu, China.
TL;DR: Difference of ∑PCBs level was found between normal birth and adverse birth outcomes; prenatal exposure to PCBs appears to influence neonatal health, but still needs further confirmation.
