Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are among the highest produced nanoparticles in the world today and are increasingly being incorporated into a wide range of construction and domestic products. Production on such a massive scale raises…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The sectors and channels for treating Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have changed considerably in recent years due to the regulatory context and to the development of new technologies. In…

Hexavalent chromium is the most toxic form of chromium. Currently, no biological exposure marker exists that is specific to hexavalent chromium. A bibliographic study has shown that Cr(VI) is incorporated into erythrocytes while the other species…

Beryllium exposure is known to seriously affect health, and even very low levels of exposure may be toxic. It is therefore essential that biological or air-monitoring strategies adopted in the workplace are reliable and accurate over a range…

Battery-recycling may expose workers to several metals. To evaluate this multiple exposure, different tools are typically used, including early-effect biomarkers and mathematical models. This study investigates occupational exposure…

In battery-recycling facilities, exposure to trace elements may occur through inhalation of contaminated dust or vapor emanating from the treatment processes. Exposure of battery-recycling workers to lead has been quite well covered in…
