This is a blanket term which covers discarded electrical devices. This is what the definition says. But in my terminology, e-waste is nothing more than the greed of humans. It is created by us, unmanaged by us and carelessly discarded by us. It’s obvious that humans are the creator of their own destroyer, whether it be pollution of soil, water and land, biometrical wastes, population growth, soil erosion or electronic waste. The e- waste has a terrible pernicious impact on the environment and human health. Computers and most electronics, contain toxic materials such as lead, zinc, nickel, flame retardants, barium and chromium. All these toxins are persistent, bioaccumulative toxins (PBTs) that create environment fatal. These toxins are as dangerous as they sound.
First, e-waste can have a damaging effect on the soil of a region.
these toxins can enter the human food supply, which can lead to birth defects as well as a number of other health complications.
E-waste that is improperly disposed of by residents or businesses also leads to toxins entering groundwater.
E-waste can also impact humans that rely on this water. Toxins like lead, barium, mercury, and lithium are also considered carcinogenic.
When e-waste is disposed of at the landfill, it’s usually burned by incinerators on site.
This process can release hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, which pollutes the air.
Hydrocarbons can contribute to the greenhouse gas effect.
More consumers need to get into the habit of taking their used electronics to an experienced recycling firm that can disassemble them, separating and categorizing the contents by material and cleaning them, then shredding them mechanically for further sorting with advanced separation technologies.
The second most important solution is to educate people about how important recycling is for e-waste. It can begin with setting an example, making a commitment on your own .
The global consumption of smartphones, computers and other electronic devices is on the rise, posing a clear danger to human health every time used electronics end up in landfills.
