Characterizing of Emissions from Open Burning of Electronic Waste using TG-GC-MS System

Introduction

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the application of an analytical technique that integrates thermal analysis with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy to identify and quantify toxic compounds emitted during the burning of electronics waste at different oxidizing conditions. The study simulates open burning practices that often accompany undeveloped e-waste recycling operations, and to provide information about exposure risks to these from emissions.
