The transport behaviors of a suite of contaminants released from electronic waste (e-waste) recycling operations, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals, were evaluated by analyzing the contaminant residues in surface soils sampled in the surrounding area of an e-waste recycling site in South China. Concentrations of PBDEs and PCBs i...

Disposing of sewage sludge in an economical and environmentally acceptable manner is a problem for all communities that have wastewater treatment plants , Similarly , many com­ munities are having to dispose of increasing quantities of solid waste. These problems could be solved by co-disposal of sludge and solid waste in a common facility. This study , .‘nvnH .. --­ au­ &LLnAE -' .‘maL­nH .. o...

OBJECTIVES Children's health problems caused by the electronic waste (e-waste) lead exposure in China remains. To assess children's blood lead levels (BLLs) in Guiyu of China and investigate risk factors of children's elevated BLLs in Guiyu. MATERIAL AND METHODS 842 children under 11 years of age from Guiyu and Haojiang were enrolled in this population-based study during 2011-2013. Participan...

BACKGROUND Electronic waste (e-waste) recycling has remained primitive in Guiyu, China, and thus may contribute to the elevation of blood lead levels (BLLs) in children living in the local environment. OBJECTIVES We compared the BLLs in children living in the e-waste recycling town of Guiyu with those living in the neighboring town of Chendian. METHODS We observed the processing of e-waste ...

Informal electronic waste (e-waste) recycling results in serious environmental pollution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and heavy metals. This study explored whether there is an association between PBDEs, heavy metal and key growth- and development-related hormones in children from Guiyu, an e-waste area in southern China. We quantified eight PBDE congeners using gas chromatographic ...

With the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA and the subsequent amendments to RCRA e orts to provide tighter controls on the transportation and disposal of hazardous waste have been steadily gaining ground This paper intended as a decision support tool for regional planning incorporates information on the hazardous waste generation treatment capacity and the costs of wast...

electronic wastes (e-wastes) is the most rapidly growing segment of the municipal waste stream. e- wastes comprise 2-5 percent of municipal solid wastes, including many different electronic products. iran is the biggest consumer of electronic products in middle east. approximately, 1.2 million computers are assembled in iran every year. there are more than 40 million active cell phones in iran....

he 1980s brought changing trends into the waste market with increased reclamation, T recycling and waste minimization efforts. Adapting proven tcchnologies has aided in moving these three forms of waste managcment forward. A t EncycleITexas, Inc. (ETI), the fundamental objcctive of recycling is to convert hazardous waste into products. Founded in 1988, ET1 recycles metalbearing waste streams to...
