E-WASTE PROBLEMS

What is e-waste, and what are the e-waste problems? 

 Electronic waste (e-waste) is defined in general as any used electronic devices or components that need to be disposed of properly. 

When we toss our laptops, batteries, light bulbs or other gadgets into the

garbage

We are shipping our e-waste to landfills

Where it accumulates and poses a risk to human

beings and to the earth.

What are the e-waste problems associated with the environment?

E-waste builds up in our landfills and gets heated by

the sun, where it emits harmful gases and seeps in to

the soil.

E-waste doesn’t just affect humans, it hurts sea

mammals, birds, aquamarine life and animals.

The soil and air that is now polluted contaminates our crops, vegetables, flowers,

shrubs, trees, grasses, saplings and herbs.

Essentially every person and every organism that is

exposed to e-Waste are put at risk.

What are the e-waste problems associated with people?

Causes of E- waste To our health

beryllium and arsenic.

Brominated flame retardants.

They create even more toxins that we get exposed to, like

furans, and halogenated

dioxins.

Endocrine disruption, reproductive disorders, and cancer because of these toxic substances we allow to leak out.

Toxic to your kidneys, and will eventually

negatively impact the reproductive system and

the nervous system.

Even our children are affected, as lead

causes an impairment in

mental development.

Brominated flame retardants is

associated with thyroid problems and

fetal damage.

Barium in e-waste causes your brain to swell after only a short exposure!

It also causes heart, spleen and liver

damage.

Mercury has been proven to harm

developing fetuses, and babies are in

jeopardy because mercury is passed through mothers’

milk.
