E-waste collection is mandated for high income countries. However, some e-waste finds its way to low income countries either in whole or in dismantled components and low income countries are producing their own e-waste. We have found that e-waste dismantlers in Ontario and Quebec, working in “formal” e-waste facilities, can have higher exposure to flame retardants than e-waste dismantlers in low income countries working in “informal” settings. However, families and communities in low income communities that handle e-waste are all exposed to hazardous substances due to uncontrolled burning and dumping of e-waste residuals. Much effort has gone into controlling the environmental carnage caused by e-waste. Ultimately, e-waste producers need to take responsibility for their devices rather than externalizing the human health and environmental costs of the growing mountain of e-waste.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://environment.utoronto.ca/events/all/environment-health-seminar-e-waste-impacts-in-our-always-on-society/">https://environment.utoronto.ca/events/all/environment-health-seminar-e-waste-impacts-in-our-always-on-society/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#ED7D31'>Central American Migrants in Limbo<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
