Recycling Of E-Waste In China May Expose Mothers, Infants To High Dioxin Levels
70 percents of computers, TVs, cell phones, and other electronic waste (e-waste) is recycled in China each year. However, a study has concluded that Chinese recycluing methods actually increase dioxin levels in women and their beast-fed infants.
Ming H. Wong did studies of dioxin levels among women of child bearing age at an e-waste recycling site. He compared those levels to women in an area without e-waste recycling. Then, they analyzed the levels of dioxins. This proved that it's so much worse that serious health problems can be caused like cancer, develpmental defects, and other health problems that have to do with breast milk, placenta, and hair.
The levels of dioxin level taken from the e-waste site were much worse.
