Micronutrient Status of Electronic Waste Recyclers at Agbogbloshie, Ghana

Micronutrient Status of Electronic Waste Recyclers at Agbogbloshie, Ghana

Growing evidence suggests that micronutrient status is adversely impacted by toxic metals (e.g., cadmium, lead, and arsenic) exposures; however, the micronutrient status of e-waste recyclers who are amongst the highest metal-exposed groups is not known. This study, therefore, assessed the micronutri...
