Riederer et al generate twice the number of obsolete personal computers as the developed regions by 2030.1 Ideally, by that time most countries will have adopted/ enforced formal health, safety and environmental standards for e-waste processing, and taken advantage of new technologies and management systems facilitating electronics reuse and recycling, supported by novel collaborations. But realistically, informal e-waste processing will continue to thrive, increasing the urgency with which we must examine the health risks in order to prioritize strategies for protecting local populations.
