With the rise of disquiet on e-waste management and disposals, there are also efforts to hold back this concern by various tools of regulatory instrument. A large part of the regulatory initiatives are focused on unlawful trafficking and improper handling of e-wastes. Center of attention in recent studies are primarily focused on linkages of improper handling and health effects on workers in different nations. Quite a few studies reported lead level in children’s blood, dechlorane in house dust and PBBs, PBDEs and PCBs in human hair in China.
