The unregulated and unorganized structure of informal electronic waste recycling worksites exposes workers to numerous occupational hazards. This context also presents research challenges in collecting exposure data to establish linkages with adverse health effects and development of risk-mitigating strategies. This paper presents some findings from a 5-year multinational and multi-institutional collaboration of academic and government partners, which documented extensive occupational and environmental health conditions at the Agbogbloshie electronic waste site in central Accra, Ghana.
非正式电子垃圾回收作业场所无监管、无组织的结构使工人面临众多职业危害。这种情况也给收集暴露数据以建立与不良健康影响的联系以及制定风险缓解策略带来了研究挑战。本文介绍了一项由学术机构和政府合作伙伴进行的为期5年的多国多机构合作的一些研究结果，该合作记录了加纳阿克拉市中心阿博布罗西电子垃圾场广泛的职业和环境卫生状况。
