Each module was provided information as seen below;

Module 8: Source, formation, toxicity and emissions of U-POPs in RA&SMEs

• Source of U-POPs released in the recycling associations and SMEs

• The U-POPs cycle in the environment

• U-POPs release from the recycling associations and SMEs

• Exposure route and toxicity of U-POPs to human health

• Heavy metals and hazardous in electronic waste

• Cast study on the implementation of BAT/BEP

The objectives of the training are to allow participants to gain the knowledge of U-POPs, the health and environmental effects from dioxins and furans, the implementation of Best Available Techniques (BAT) and Best Environmental Practices (BEP) which will help reduce U-POPs and to be able to further apply the knowledge gained in practice effectively.
