Abstract
The 2024 Screening Programme investigated emerging and legacy contaminants in e-waste facilities and wastewater treatment. LCD substances, flame retardants, plasticizers, and their metabolites were found in air, dust, and water near e-waste sites. Bisphenol-related compounds and follow-up substances were detected in wastewater, particularly in sludge and particles. The findings highlight environmental dispersion, treatment efficiency, and the need for continued monitoring.
