摘要: Achieving effective municipal solid waste (MSW) management remains a major challenge and generation accumulation continue to constitute important environmental public health concern, particularly in most developing countries. Although the general population is at risk of adverse consequences hazards associated with exposure MSW, workers (WMWs) are vulnerable because their direct involvement disposal waste, increasing evidence work-related safety risks among these individuals. Among numerous prevalent WMWs, development toxic neuropathies following chronic occupational poorly recognized. However, or predisposition becoming evident considering recognition large amount neurotoxic heavy metals hazardous industrial materials present MSW parts world. The review seeks draw attention continuous vulnerability WMWs neuropathies. This aimed facilitating conscious efforts by relevant governmental nongovernmental agencies towards promoting reduction ensuring adequate protection against possible polyneuropathies wastes. While education on need for compliance regulations practice sacrosanct achieving significant related handling, it also our intention this underscore relevance nutrient supplementation alternative medicines chemoprevention.
