Laborers. Workers in e-waste recycling facilities come in direct contact with many harmful materials through skin contact and inhalation (Robinson, 2009). They may also encounter high instances of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) exposure (Thuresson et al., 2006). Exposure to harmful chemicals, PBDEs in particular, has been found to elevate levels of PBDEs in breast milk of women who live and work in recycling communities (Tue et al., 2010). PBDEs have been linked to endocrine issues as well as neurotoxicity (Thuresson et al., 2006)
