Informal recycling of e-waste not only impacts environment and the people living or working in that area but may also pollute the environment in nearby or far-flung areas. The present systemic review analyzes the environmental pollution effects of heavy metals and other pollutants from e-waste processing workshops in India. Study evaluates the possible exposure routes and human health risk due to effects of heavy metals in order to understand the evidence of causality between exposure to heavy metals from e-waste and human health outcomes.
