Assessment of Nanoparticle Occupational Exposures in an Electronic Recycling Facility

Each year, approximately 20–50 million tons of electronic equipment (e-waste) are produced globally. Only about 10% of the global e-waste will be recycled. The use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) to improve electronics and computer manufacturing has allowed significant developments in their size and properties including flat panel screens, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), printed circuit boards, and batteries. Occupational exposure to nanomaterial is a concern during the manufacturing of these electronic devices. E-waste recycling may pose an additional burden for occupational exposure. E-cycling processes includes either manual disassembly or destructive disassembly. Manual disassembly uses hand tools along an assembly line type process, destructive disassembly involves grinding, shredding, or other forms of mechanized size reduction followed by material separation processes. Manual disassembly is labor intensive yet typically introduces less material contamination, whereas destructive disassembly minimizes labor costs but produces more cross contamination.

Respirable Crystalline Silica Exposures among U.S. Metal and Nonmetal Miners — Mine Safety and Health Administration, 2000-2019
In United States Metal and Nonmetal (MNM) mines, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposures are prevalent and a leading indicator of respiratory diseases like silicosis and lung cancer. This study examines patterns of hazardous RCS exposure over time among MNM miners to better inform the need for interventions.
