Ecological Burden of e-Waste in Bangladesh—an Assessment to Measure the Exposure to e-Waste and Associated Health Outcomes: Protocol for a Cross-sectional Study

Additionally, e-waste–derived metals are nonbiodegradable, which adversely affects aquatic and terrestrial environments [16]. e-Waste exposure usually comes from 1 of 3 sources: informal recycling, formal recycling, or environmental contamination [17-20]. Most e-waste recycling processes are carried out in the informal sector, where the recycling process is used to extract valuable metals rapidly. These crude operations are carried out without protective gear or the assistance of technology [21,22].
