Construction of Models To Predict the Effectiveness of E-Waste Control through Capture of Volatile Organic Compounds and Metals/Metalloids Exposure Fingerprints: A Six-Year Longitudinal Study
Abstract:The significant health implications of e-waste toxicants
have triggered
the global tightening of regulation on informal e-waste recycling
sites (ER) but with disparate governance that requires effective monitoring.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to implement e-waste control in
the Guiyu ER since 2015, we investigated the temporal variations in
levels of oxidative DNA damage, 25 volatile organic compound metabolites
(VOCs), and 16 metals/metalloids (MeTs) in urine in 918 children between
2016 and 2021 to d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
