Magnitude of the global e-waste problem -- Metals, metallic compounds, organic chemicals, and e-waste chemical mixtures -- Toxicology of e-waste chemicals: mechanisms of action -- Populations at special risk -- Risk assessment/risk communication approaches for e-waste sites -- Translation of risk assessment information into effective international policies and actions -- Current e-waste data gaps and future research directions. "Electronic Waste: Toxicology and Public Health Issues discusses the major public health concerns due to the presence of toxic chemicals that are generated from improper recycling and disposal practices of electronic waste (e-waste). This book highlights hazardous inorganic chemicals found in e-waste, including arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, gallium, iridium, and nanomaterials, also focusing on health issues related to the presence of BPA, styrene, and other plastic components and combustion products, while also identifying populations at special risk. To provide readers with potential solutions to this global problem, Dr. Fowler presents risk assessment approaches using chemicals, mixtures, biomarkers, susceptibility factors, and computational toxicology. He discusses how to translate the information gathered through risk assessment into safe and effective international policies."--Publisher's description. Electronic waste.
