Implication of e-waste trafficking on human health
Global embryonic rise in e-waste and its disposal practices is becoming a severe cause of concern for human health, so is for the ecosystem health. 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. Before these issues can turn into global tragedy there is need to re-review the facts from recent research studies and design appropriate measures. An across-the-board review of available research study is necessary to offer course for a sustainable strategy to deal with global trafficking of e-wastes.
