Electronic waste is a source of both legacy and emerging flame retardants to the environment, especially in regions where sufficient handling systems are lacking. In present study, we quantified occurrence short- medium chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs MCCPs) dechloranes household chicken (Gallus domesticus) eggs soil collected near disposal sites on Zanzibar Tanzanian mainland. Sampling locations included an e-waste facility active dumpsite Dar es Salaam, historical informal Zanzibar. We...
There are large knowledge gaps concerning environmental levels and fate of many organic pollutants, particularly for chemicals emerging concern in tropical regions the Global South. In this study, we investigated chlorinated paraffins (CPs) dechloranes air soil rural, suburban, urban around Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Samples were also collected near city's main municipal waste dumpsite an electronic (e-waste) handling facility. passive samples, short chain CPs (SCCPs) dominated, with average...
Temporal trends of industrial organic contaminants can show how environmental burdens respond to changes in production, regulation, and other anthropogenic factors. Numerous studies have documented such from the Northern Hemisphere, while there is very limited data literature sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that temporal legacy contemporary Africa could greatly differ regions which many these chemicals were initially produced more extensively used. For this purpose, a dated sediment core...
There are large knowledge gaps concerning concentrations, sources, emissions, and spatial trends of mercury (Hg) in the atmosphere developing regions Southern Hemisphere, particularly urban areas. Filling these is a prerequisite for assessing effectiveness international regulation enabling better understanding global transport Hg environment. Here we use passive sampling technique to study distribution gaseous elemental (Hg(0), GEM) assess emission sources around Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's...
Electronic waste is a source of both legacy and emerging flame retardants to the environment, especially in regions where sufficient handling systems are lacking. Yet there limited knowledge environmental occurrence contaminants such as Africa. In present study, we quantified short- medium chain chlorinated paraffins (CPs) dechloranes household chicken eggs (Gallus domesticus) soil collected around disposal sites on Zanzibar Tanzanian mainland. Sampling locations included active dumpsite Dar...
