HOW IS E-WASTE HARMFUL?
• When e-waste is warmed up, toxic chemicals are released into
the air damaging the atmosphere. The damage to the
atmosphere is one of the biggest environmental impacts from e-
waste. When electronic waste is thrown away in landfills
their toxic materials seep into groundwater, affecting both land
and sea animals.
• Processes such as dismantling components, wet chemical
processing, and incineration are used to dispose the waste and
result in direct exposure and inhalation of harmful chemicals.
CONCLUSION- WHAT YOU CAN DO?
• Buy second hand electronic devices, try to fix it before throwing it
away, try to sell so that someone doesn't buy a new one
• Implement Stricter laws and regulations to help facilitate a
movement towards recycling and reusing.
• Educate the population better so that they fully understand the
potential consequences to improper disposal.
• Many large corporations such as Best Buy or Verizon will take
back old and unwanted electronic devices. Contact the large
retailers before you throw away your electronic devices.
