Introduction
Outline
Abstract
Keywords
(1) Waste generated from the products used for data processing
such as computers, computer devices like monitors, speakers,
keyboards, and printers.
(2) Electronic devices used for entertainment like cathode ray tube
televisions, LCD TV, LED TV, DVDs, and CD players.
(3) Equipment or devices used for communication like mobile
phones, landline phones, and fax. Household equipment like
vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, washing machines, and air
conditioners.
(4) Audio and visual components such as VCRs and stereo
equipment.
E-waste pollutes the air, water, and the land near the dumping
ground. Kidney, liver, bones, endocrine system, nervous system,
and heart muscle get affected. Hormonal problems and cancer are
also caused by e-wastes. Highly toxic gases like CO, CFC, TCDD
(2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin), other dioxins, and furan get
mixed in the air while burning. Radioactive rays also release from
e-waste. The harmful effects of it on the human body are being
carried from one generation to another. Dreadful diseases like
DNA damage, lung cancer, damage to the heart and spleen,
chronic damage to the brain, and asthmatic bronchitis are the
various effects caused by e-waste. The toxic chemicals that get
mixed in land from the dumping of e-waste easily get access to
our body through “soil-crop-food pathway.” First, these poisonous
metals find their way into the food chain through marine life and
from there to the human body throwing it on the verge of risk.
Health hazards connected to e-waste may generate from the direct
contact with harmful materials, such as copper, zinc, lead,
cadmium, brominated flame retardants, or polychlorinated
biphenyls, from inhalation of toxic fumes, as well as from
accumulation of toxic substances in soil, water, and food. The
harmful effects of lead are manifold on the human body. It
damages the central and peripheral nervous systems, blood
systems, and kidneys. It also affects the brain development of
children via pica and play behaviors et al., Burning of lead emits
poisonous gas that is fatal for the heart and lungs. Chromium
causes asthmatic Bronchitis and DNA damage. Cadmium has toxic
irreversible effects on human health. It mainly accumulates in the
kidney and liver and causes neural damage. It has a teratogenic
effect also. Another residual element from waste electrical and
electronic equipments is mercury, which is responsible for chronic
damage to the brain and respiratory system. In the accumulation
of these waste materials, plastic waste including polyvinyl chloride
is also a part, which produces dioxin gas upon burning. The
dioxin gas damages the immune system, interferes in regulatory
hormones, and causes reproductive and developmental problems.
5. Continent-wise and country-wise generation of e-wastes
E-waste is one type of solid waste more harmful than other solid
wastes. The e-waste can be separated into two categories—
repairable and nonrepairable assets. The repairable ones are sent
back into the market and the nonrepairable ones are kept for
further recycling. The key way out to deal with e-waste can be
termed as 3R—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The fundamental e-waste
management includes the following activities: (1) collection of e-
wastes, (2) sorting of e-wastes, (3) processing of e-wastes, (4)
repairing of e-wastes, (5) recycling, (6) dismantling, (7) component
recovery from e-waste, and (8) residual disposal of e-waste.
There are two common steps used in the recycling of e-waste
around the world:
