摘要

E-waste associated microplastics contamination of soil is a growing environmental concern because it contains toxic materials that can leach into the soil when improperly disposed or recycled. These toxic materials include heavy metals, flame retardants, and organic pollutants. Hazardous compounds can pose significant health risks to humans when they are improperly managed and released into the environmental matrices through air, water, and soil pathways. Developing countries need proper technological infrastructure and resources to manage the huge amounts of e-waste associated microplastics they. As a result, over 90% of e-waste associated microplastics in under-developed and developing countries relies on rudimentary and primitive methods. This improper treatment of e-waste associated microplastics releases hazardous pollutants into the environment, which causes serious health problems for humans. It is important to study the properties of these hazardous compounds of e-waste associated microplastics in order to develop effective remediation techniques. It is an overview of the sources and types of e-waste associated microplastics contaminants, as well as the different remediation techniques that can be used to mitigate soil contamination. The chapter also discusses the advantages and limitations of physical, chemical, and biological soil remediation techniques.
