INTRODUCTION: The aims of this research were to conduct the first holistic and deep scientometric analysis of electronic waste and health and provide with the prediction of research trends and hot topics. METHOD: A comprehensive literature search was conducted via the Web of Science Core collection databases on 26 August 2022 to identify all articles related to electronic waste and health. A total of 652 records have been extracted from the Web of Science after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria and were analyzed using bibliometrix software of R-package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace, visualized by tables and diagrams. RESULT: The number of publications and total citations had shown a general growth trend from 2012 to 2021, with an average annual growth rate of 23.74%. Mainland China was the significant nation with the greatest number of publications, citations, and international links. The journal publishing the most was "Science of the Total Environment" ( = 56). Huo X and Hu XJ were the top two author contributing to this field with the highest -index (23). Over time, the focus in this field shifted to exposure to heavy metal, polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated biphenyl ethers, and poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances from electronic waste, and managements, such as hydrometallurgy. DISCUSSION: By this scientometric analysis, we found that the most active country, journal, organization and author contributing to this filed, as well as high impact documents and references and research hotspots. Also, we found that the hotspots might be exposure to toxic substances from electronic waste procession, its impact on human health and relevant managements. And evironmentally friendly materials to replace heavy metal mate rials, and environmentally friendly and effective recycling methods of electronic waste need to be further studied.
简介:本研究旨在对电子废物与健康领域进行首次全面而深入的科学计量学分析,并预测研究趋势和热点。
方法:于 2022 年 8 月 26 日,通过 Web of Science 核心合集数据库进行全面的文献检索,以确定与电子废物与健康相关的所有文章。在应用纳入和排除标准后,从 Web of Science 中提取了 652 条记录,并使用 R 包 bibliometrix 软件、VOSviewer 和 CiteSpace 进行分析,以表格和图表形式呈现分析结果。
结果:出版物数量和总引文数从 2012 年到 2021 年呈总体增长趋势,年均增长率为 23.74%。中国大陆是发文量、引文量和国际联系最多的国家。发文量最多的期刊是《总体环境科学》(=56)。对该领域贡献最大的两位作者是 Huo X 和 Hu XJ,他们的最高被引指数(23)。随着时间的推移,该领域的研究重点逐渐转移到电子废物中重金属、多氯联苯、多溴联苯醚和多氟及全氟烷基物质的暴露,以及冶金等管理方面。
讨论:通过科学计量学分析,我们发现了该领域最活跃的国家、期刊、组织和作者,以及高影响力的文献和参考文献,以及研究热点。此外,我们发现研究热点可能是电子废物处理过程中有毒物质的暴露、其对人类健康的影响以及相关管理。需要进一步研究替代重金属材料的环保材料,以及电子废物的环保和有效回收方法。
