TLDR
In this paper, the type of toxic substances that exist in e-waste, their impact on environment, health of human beings, and management approaches that are being used to manage ewaste in some developed countries are reviewed.Abstract:
We review the type of toxic substances that exist in e-waste, their impact on environment, health of human beings, and management approaches that are being used to manage e-waste in some developed countries. Several tools like Material Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), and Flow Analysis (MFA) are being used for the management of e-waste in developed countries. Multiple tools working together coherently are required to resolve the e-waste problem.read more

Chemical hazards associated with treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Oyuna Tsydenova,Magnus Bengtsson +1 more
TL;DR: This review paper summarizes the existing knowledge on the chemical hazards associated with recycling and other end-of-life treatment options of waste electrical and electronic equipment, examines the existing e-waste management practices and presents scientific data on human exposure to chemicals, workplace and environmental pollution associated with the three major e-Waste management options, i.e., recycling, incineration and landfilling.
