Implications for current regulatory waste toxicity characterisation methods from analysing metal and metalloid leaching from photovoltaic modules

The appropriateness of regulatory methods to characterise the toxicity of photovoltaic (PV) modules was investigated to quantify potential environmental impacts for modules disposed of in landfills. Because solar energy is perceived as a green technology, it is important to ensure that end-of-life i...
