Research shows higher biomarker levels in recycling workers, implying a need for better ventilation and emission controls.
= 0.40) suggested that inhalation may partly contribute to exposure. Inadequate local exhaust ventilation was associated with higher urinary concentrations of most biomarkers and significantly higher BBzP levels. These findings highlight the complex chemical mixtures present in recycling environments and underscore the need to control emissions at the source and to continue monitoring regulated and emerging phthalates and bisphenols to support prevention strategies for a growing recycling workforce.
