Remediation Techniques for Soil Contaminated with Toxic Materials from E-Waste-Associated Microplastics
Summary
Researchers reviewed remediation techniques for cleaning up soil contaminated by toxic materials from e-waste-associated microplastics, which can leach heavy metals and flame retardants into the ground when electronics are improperly disposed of — posing risks to both ecosystems and human health.
E-waste associated microplastics contamination of soil is a growing environmental concern because it contains toxic materials that can leach into the soil when improperly disposed or recycled. These toxic materials include heavy metals, flame retardants, and organic...
