“…However, fingerprint profiles of PAHs in both soil and sediment showed that the main source of contamination was pyrogenic rather than petrogenic, indicating that e-waste burning was likely to be the main contributor. The cancer risk assessment carried out by Hoa et al [114] also indicated that the risk was significantly higher in e-recycling sites than in the nearby area, but still it did not exceed the threshold limit value, indicating acceptable levels.…”

“…However, the concentrations of specific PAH compounds (phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene) exceeded the permissible concentrations, implying a risk of ecotoxicological effects [114]. Four studies focused on China, a country with intensive e-recycling activity [115,[118][119][120].…”

“…Moreover, Singh also explained that there are risks to human health arising from several hazardous pollutant compounds that are the result of recycling from electronic waste such as Hg, Cr, and Pb [7]. Apart from the empirical studies presented in the description above that focus on the effects of selected health effects with exposure to certain pollutants, it is almost certain that there are potential sources of pollution caused by electronic waste recycling activities that are not environmentally friendly [11], [12].…”
