Results of a new study suggest e-scrap workers must wipe their hands multiple times at the end of their shifts to remove toxic flame retardants.
The study was conducted by scientists at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Harvard T.H.
Researchers analyzing particle samples from an e-scrap facility found concentrations of a previously undetected, potentially toxic chemical.
Scientists at Indiana University (IU) detected tri(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl) phosphate, or TDTBPP, which is part of a family of chemicals known to be toxic.

Even if consumers say smartphone repairability is important to them, brand popularity may be a more important factor in prolonging a device's life, a study concluded.
"Our results suggest that although repairability and large memory size are typically thought to be 'life extending,' in practice they have limited impact on th
