Abstract
Electronic and electric (e-) waste is a major environmental problem worldwide. An improper handling, disposal and recycling of e-waste lead to the negative impacts on the environment, especially on soil pollution. It is known that, in the environment, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can be formed in several ways, including the pyrolytic processes during the incineration of e-waste. Given that these organic substances are very toxic, even in extremely low concentrations, the main goal of this paper was to present a literature review of PAHs in the soil near the sites for the disposal and recycling of e-waste that are not regulated according to the adequate, positive legislations.
