Article Synopsis
- E-waste is increasing worldwide, leading to a study on harmful chemicals like dioxins and PCBs in female e-waste recyclers compared to non-recyclers in Vietnam.
- Blood samples were analyzed, showing higher levels of toxic compounds in recyclers than in non-recyclers and some levels surpassed those found in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES).
- The findings indicate significant exposure to specific dioxins and PCBs among recyclers, suggesting a need for intervention to reduce these harmful exposures.
