AB  - This paper reviews the concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      atmosphere of an electronic waste (e-waste) recycling town, Guiyu, in Southeast 
      China, focusing on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated 
      dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We assess the evidence for the 
      association between air pollution and human body burden, to provide an indication 
      of the severity of respiratory exposure. Compared with standards and available 
      existing data for other areas, it clearly shows that four typical POPs, derived 
      from recycling processes, lead to serious atmospheric pollution and heavy body 
      burden. From published data, the estimated respiratory exposure doses of Guiyu 
      adults and children, varied between 2.48-10.37 and 3.25-13.6 ng kg(-1) body 
      weight (bw) day(-1) for PBDEs, 2.31-7.6 and 4.09-13.58 pg World Health 
      Organization-Toxic Equivalent Quantity (WHO-TEQ) kg(-1) bw day(-1) for PCDD/Fs, 
      5.57 and 20.52 ng kg(-1) bw day(-1) for PCBs, and 8.59-50.01 and 
      31.64-184.14 ng kg(-1) bw day(-1) for PAHs, respectively. These results show that 
      air pollution is more harmful to children. Furthermore, except for PBDEs, the 
      hazard quotient (HQ) of the other three pollutants was rated more than 1 by 
      respiratory exposure only, and all of them are at risk of carcinogenesis. So we 
      speculate these pollutants enter the body mainly through air inhalation, making 
      respiratory exposure may be more important than dietary exposure in the Guiyu 
      e-waste recycling area. Effective management policies and remediation techniques 
      are urgently needed to prevent the deterioration of ambient air quality in the 
      e-waste recycling area.
