Abstract
⺠Exposure status of trace elements in e-waste recycling workers was assessed in Ghana. ⺠Concentrations of Fe, Sb, and Pb in urine of e-waste workers were significantly higher than those of the reference subjects. ⺠This study is the first to investigate human contamination arising from primitive recycling of e-waste arguably from Africa.
