E-Waste: A Hazard to Human Beings and EnvironmentDr Somvir Bajar
Management of the fastest-growing e-waste is a severe problem and has attracted worldwide attention. The electrical and electronic devices have become a part of everyone’s day to day life. Faster upgradation of electrical and electronic product is forcing consumers to add more e-waste to the solid waste stream. The growing problem of e-waste calls for greater emphasis on recycling e-waste. However, recycling of hazardous components in informal sector attracts several health-related problems and pollution to the environment, which call attempts for better e-waste management.
Electronic waste or e-waste refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices like cathode ray tubes, chips, plastics from electronics, and printed circuit boards. E-waste is dangerous as it contains carcinogens and toxic chemicals that can cause health effects like cancer, liver damage, and developmental issues. Proper e-waste management includes planning collection, recycling, and disposal to reduce environmental contamination while encouraging the 3R's of reduce, reuse, and recycle. All governments, industries, and consumers should cooperate to sustainably manage e-waste.
The document proposes establishing a business to extract precious metals from e-waste in India. It summarizes that India produces 3 million tons of e-waste annually, which is increasing by 20% each year and contains 5% precious metals. It outlines plans to collect, dismantle, separate and recover materials from e-waste using an automated electronic scrap recycling system to produce high purity metals, with an expected annual profit of 12 lakh rupees.
This document discusses e-waste, its effects on the environment, and management strategies. It defines e-waste as electronic and electric products nearing the end of their usable life. E-waste comes from sources like IT equipment, appliances, consumer devices, and medical equipment. When improperly disposed, e-waste releases toxic heavy metals like lead, chromium, cadmium, and mercury that can damage human health and the environment. Effective e-waste management requires efforts from governments, industries, and citizens to implement regulations, reduce waste, encourage recycling and reuse, and make more sustainable product choices.
E-waste is electrical and electronic equipment that is discarded. It is growing rapidly due to the short lifespan of electronics. E-waste contains hazardous materials like lead and mercury, but also valuable materials that can be recovered through recycling. Currently, most e-waste is handled by the informal sector in developing countries through unsafe practices like incineration and dumping. Regulations in India aim to promote formal and environmentally-sound recycling, but enforcement remains a challenge. IIT Guwahati follows a buyback policy for old electronics and works with vendors to refurbish and properly dispose of end-of-life equipment.
This document provides an overview of e-waste (electronic waste), including:

This document discusses e-waste and nuclear waste management. It defines e-waste as discarded electronic devices and notes that India generated 332,979 metric tons of e-waste in 2007. E-waste contains toxic components like lead, cadmium, and mercury that can harm the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs. Nuclear waste is radioactive material from nuclear power and technology. It is categorized into mill tailings waste, high level waste from spent nuclear fuel, and low level waste. High level nuclear waste requires long term storage due to its high radioactivity and long half-lives. The document stresses the importance of proper e-waste and nuclear waste management to protect human and environmental health.
This presentation discusses electronic waste (e-waste) management. It defines e-waste as old or discarded electronic devices such as computers, phones, appliances, and more. It then lists sources of e-waste such as small businesses and households. E-waste contains hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury. While dangerous, e-waste can also be a source of valuable materials like plastics, metals, and batteries. Common e-waste disposal methods include recycling, landfilling, and incineration, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The presentation emphasizes the importance of proper e-waste management policies and practices in India.
Guiyu, China has become known as the "electronic graveyard" due to the 150,000 workers who disassemble e-waste from other countries. Workers recover valuable metals by burning circuit boards and melting components with no environmental protections. This has caused severe pollution to the air, water, and soil that has led to high rates of cancer, miscarriages and birth defects among the local population. While the work provides income, the health risks have created a public health crisis due to the toxic methods used to recover materials from e-waste.
E-waste refers to discarded electronic devices and is a growing problem in India. Large amounts of e-waste are generated in major cities and states each year, totaling hundreds of thousands of tons. Improperly handled e-waste recycling can release toxic chemicals like lead and cadmium into the environment, posing hazards to human health. There is lack of public awareness about e-waste and its risks. Manufacturers also do little to promote take-back programs for obsolete electronics. Non-toxic recycling methods need to be implemented to handle India's increasing volumes of e-waste in an environmentally responsible way.
The document provides an overview of radioactive waste management in South Africa. It discusses the legislative framework, classification of wastes, and management options. It describes current practices such as pre-disposal management including decommissioning and storage, as well as disposal of low-level waste at Vaalputs. Key challenges include strengthening stakeholder trust and managing spent nuclear fuel. The concluding remarks emphasize that current practices align with international standards but stakeholder acceptance is critical to any radioactive waste management activities.
This document summarizes the major health and environmental risks associated with e-waste disposal in China, particularly the Guiyu region. It finds extremely high levels of lead contamination in the soil, dust, water and people of e-waste disposal sites, putting workers and children at very high risk of lead poisoning. While laws exist to better regulate e-waste in the US and China, enforcement is lacking. Improved management is needed such as stopping illegal e-waste exports, establishing safe recycling infrastructure, and educating workers on occupational health risks.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in China and Baidu together launched a Big Data Joint Laboratory to pioneer new methods and frameworks for using big data to support development goals. The inaugural product of the Joint lab is an e-waste recycling smartphone application called “Baidu Recycle“, aiming at streamlining the recycling process of e-wastes. Users can take a photo of their electronic waste and get the name, category and estimated scrap price for the item. Users in certain cities can even arrange an e-waste pick-up.
This document discusses electronic waste (e-waste), including what it is, common electronic items that become e-waste, why e-waste is a problem, constituents of e-waste that are hazardous or valuable, and methods of e-waste disposal like recycling, landfilling, and incineration. It provides details on e-waste management in India and China, the WEEE Directive, and recommends steps like proper laws and increased awareness to better address the growing issue of e-waste.
Radioactive wastes can be classified into three categories based on their radioactivity level, half-life, and type of radiation emitted. High-level waste with high radioactivity and long half-lives, such as fuel rods and liquid waste, is buried deep underground or incorporated into borosilicate glass. Intermediate-level waste with lower radioactivity and shorter half-lives, like resins and reactor components, may be solidified in concrete before disposal. Low-level waste such as paper, clothing, and tools which pose little radiological hazard are buried in shallow landfills or compacted and incinerated.

Currently, informal and unsafe recycling practices are common in Bangladesh. The document then outlines international initiatives and policies for e-waste management, as well as strategies for reducing e-waste such as inventory management, product redesign, and recovery/reuse programs. It notes challenges in Bangladesh include a lack of awareness and proper regulations. Overall, the document analyzes the current situation of e-waste in Bangladesh and potential solutions to improve management and reduce environmental contamination.
Due to globalization and development of technologies, production of electronic and electrical equipment (computers, mobile phones, printers, DVD players, TVs, etc.) has skyrocketed. After a certain period of time, these equipment becomes obsolete or gets broken and hence discarded. Thus, leads to accumulation of e-waste - the fastest growing waste in the world. E-wastes are known to be hazardous because of the presence of many hazardous materials such as arsenic, antimony, cadmium, mercury, BFR’s, lead, etc.
The challenge is to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to decontaminate polluted environments, to make them safe for human habitation and consumption, and to protect the functioning of the ecosystems which support life. Bioremediation approach is currently applied to remove contaminants from soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediments including air.

E-waste is a major concern in today's world.It is AN ENVIRONMENT KILLER..!!.Its management is also of great importance.By Ashin Adai Shinu,Kerala,India.
The document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) worldwide. It notes that about 50 million tons of e-waste are produced annually, with much of it improperly disposed of. Only 15-20% is recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills or being burned. E-waste contains toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, which can leach into the environment and pose serious health risks. Developing countries that import e-waste for processing typically do so through informal recycling with little safety precautions, exposing workers and communities to the toxins. Urgent action is needed through better regulations, enforcement, and design of more sustainable electronics.
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to old, end-of-life electronic devices such as TVs, computers, phones, and other electronics. It is difficult to quantify the total amount of e-waste globally due to much of it being undocumented or categorized differently in different areas. Estimates suggest around 40 million tons of e-waste are generated worldwide annually. Only about 13% of e-waste is properly recycled, with the rest often being shipped illegally to developing countries or improperly disposed of. E-waste contains toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury that can harm human health and the environment if not handled properly.
The document discusses electronic waste (e-waste) and its management. It provides background on e-waste, noting that it is waste from discarded electronic devices that are quickly replaced due to technological advances. It then discusses several key points around e-waste including that it contains hazardous materials, the short lifespans of electronics contribute to large volumes of e-waste, and that improper disposal can harm human health and the environment. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of proper e-waste recycling and management.
The document is a seminar report on e-waste by Deshmukh Priyanka. It discusses how e-waste is defined as discarded electronic devices, notes that computers have an average lifespan of less than two years which leads to rapid obsolescence. It then discusses some of the toxic materials commonly found in electronics like lead, cadmium, and mercury, and the health and environmental risks they pose. The report also covers waste management concepts like the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle and resource recovery from waste materials. It concludes that electronic products should be considered chemical waste due to their toxicity and numbers, and calls for designing cleaner computer products.
This document discusses e-waste management issues in India. It defines e-waste as old or obsolete electrical and electronic equipment such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, etc. E-waste is growing rapidly due to short life cycles and planned obsolescence of electronic devices. Most e-waste in India is handled by the informal sector using unsafe recycling methods that release toxic substances like lead, cadmium, and mercury into the environment. This poses serious health risks. While e-waste contains recoverable materials, the current practices are inefficient and polluting. The document outlines the responsibilities of producers under India's E-Waste Management Rules and calls for better implementation of regulations to promote formal, safe recycling of e-
The document discusses the issues around e-waste (electronic waste) and provides recommendations for its management. E-waste poses threats to human health and the environment if improperly disposed of, as components can leach hazardous materials like lead into soil and water. The document recommends that governments establish regulations and programs for e-waste, industries adopt reduction and recycling practices, and citizens participate in safe donation or recycling of obsolete electronics.
In this research paper, researcher has tried to focus on What is present scenario of E waste management in India & What are the procedures and methods used in its handling?
The document discusses the growing problem of e-waste and its harmful effects. It notes that while rules have been implemented in India to address e-waste, little progress has been made and e-waste generation continues to increase significantly each year. Both producers and consumers share responsibility for recycling discarded electronics. Throwing old electronics in landfills or incinerating them harms the environment and living things. There are companies that offer take-back programs for recycling electronics, and recycling centers are available for donating discarded devices. Exposure to toxic metals in improperly recycled e-waste can cause serious health issues in both adults and children. Increased awareness and use of recycling options is needed to protect the environment and all living beings.
This document discusses various topics related to solid waste management including definitions of municipal solid waste and hazardous waste. It describes the characteristics and sources of solid waste and different methods of waste treatment including the 3R's approach of reduce, reuse and recycle. Specific case studies on solid waste management challenges for the Yamuna River in Delhi and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster are also summarized.
The document discusses e-waste, which refers to electronic products like computers, phones, TVs that have reached the end of their useful life. E-waste is growing rapidly due to the increasing production and planned obsolescence of electronic equipment. It contains toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium which can harm human health and the environment if e-waste is not disposed of properly. While landfilling and incineration are common disposal methods, recycling and reuse of e-waste is recommended to recover valuable materials and reduce environmental pollution.
E-waste is a growing problem caused by increased production and obsolescence of electronic devices. It poses health risks like increased respiratory and digestive issues when dumped illegally or improperly disposed of. Currently, much of e-waste ends up in landfills or is exported to developing countries under false pretenses for dumping. However, solutions like recycling, raising awareness, implementing proper laws and regulations, and creating business opportunities from e-waste can help address this important environmental issue.
The document discusses different types of waste and waste management technologies. It defines solid waste and municipal solid waste. It then describes various waste treatment technologies like incineration, gasification, and plasma gasification that convert waste into energy. These thermal processes break down waste using high temperatures to produce syngas, ash, and heat energy that can be used for electricity generation and other applications. The technologies allow for waste treatment while also recovering resources and energy from waste.
congenital GI disorders are very dangerous to child. it is also a leading cause for death of the child.
this congenital GI disorders includes cleft lip, cleft palate, hirchsprung's disease etc.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
Selective alpha1 blockers are Prazosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, Tamsulosin and Silodosin majorly used to treat BPH, also hypertension, PTSD, Raynaud's phenomenon, CHF
3. INTRODUCTION
E-waste or WEEE are Loosely discarded, surplus, obsolete
or Broken electrical and electronic devices.
-This include used electronics which are destined for Reuse,
Resale, Salvage, Recycling or disposal.
Informal Processing of E-waste
poses a serious threat of
Health and Environmental
Pollution- esp. in developing
Countries.
4.
5. BURDEN OF E-WASTE
50 million tons/ year: EPA states that only 20% is recycled
among them and rest goes to landfills and incinerators.
USA is the world leader in producing E-waste(10 m tons),
with China behind (8 m tons).
6. Guiyu in China is the biggest E waste dump (E waste
capital of the world) : With 15,000 e waste workers.
Developed Nations ship their E waste to developing
Nations because of our poor regulations over waste
disposal.
8. 1,46,000 tonnes in 2005
8,00,000 tonnes in 2012.
In India:
The amount of E waste being produced could rise as much
As 500% over next decade in India alone.
9. Why E-Waste is Growing?
Rapid changes in Technology.
Falling Prices (Competitive Tech).
Irresponsible Company Manufacturing.
10. Lack of Proper Knowledge on its risks and disposal.
Repairs cost more than new products. ( Not Upgrading)
Planned Product Obsolescence.
13. IMPACTS OF E-WASTE
Environment
1. Contamination of Ground Water:
• One Mobile Battery pollutes 600 m3 ground water.
Cadmium Mercury
PCBs Lead
• This ultimately destroys Aquatic Ecosystem.
14. 2. Air Pollution
• Incineration of these waste releases Toxic Gases
• Toxic dioxins & Furans (Comes from burning plastic
cables and PVC materials.)
3. Soil Pollution
• Acids and sludge pollute soil
(Melting Computer
Chips)
23. Information Security
Improperly erased hard dives can be reopened exposing
sensitive information like Credit card details, Private
financial data, Online transactions etc,.
In Agbogbloshie, Ghana- criminals found multimillion dollar
agreements & USA Govt Contracts, that were later leaked.
25. POLICIES & CONVENTIONS
The globally growing E waste problem was addressed in 1980,
and the tightened environmental regulations lead to Toxic Traders.
They used to ship E waste to
developing Countries (Cheap
labour, No regard for environment
and lack of standards.)
So, a new BASEL CONVENTION came forward (Geneva) that
facilitates the implementation of the regulations.
26. BASEL CONVENTION
Control & reduction of Transboundary movements of
hazardous wastes- including prevention & minimization of
their generation and the environmentally sound
management of such wastes & active promotion of the
use of technology.
It also provides assistance &
guidelines on legal and technical
issues, gathers statistical data &
conducts training on proper
management of toxic waste.
27. EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILTY
An European legislation that will require manufacturers
to take back their electrical products when the consumer
discards them.
28. E WASTE MINIMIZATION
1. Inventory Management:
The raw materials used in manufacturing must be optimized.
New methods to manufacture with less material should be
appreciated.
2. Volume Reduction:
By removing Hazardous portion from Non-Hazardous.
3. Recovery & Reuse:
By strictly following EPR.
29. RESPONSIBILTIES & ROLES
Responsibility of Government`
Should setup
regulatory
agencies in each
district.
Strict legislations
should be
enforced.
Encourage
research in E
waste
management.
30. Responsibility of Industries
E Waste
handlers should
be properly
qualified.
Adopt waste
Minimization
Techniques.
Undertake the
disposal of their
own products
safely.
31. Role of Citizens
Customers should opt
for upgrading rather than
Buying a new one.
Never dispose it with
garbage or other household
waste.
33. RECYCLING
“Assembling, developing, promoting or buying
Of new products which are prepared from waste products.”
Dismantling
Develop new equipments
Retrieve Valuable materials
Separating Hazardous materials
34.
35.
36. LAND FILLING
Dumping or Burial of E-Waste.
Widely Used method of disposal.
Not a Safe method/ Approved.
37. Significant impacts from landfilling could be avoided by
conditioning hazardous materials from e-waste separately and
by landfilling only those fractions which cannot be
recycled and ensure that they are in state-of-the-art
landfills that respect environmentally sound technical standards.
38. INCINERATION
“Incineration is the Process of destroying waste through
burning.”
Open Burning is more harmful than controlled Incineration
(Slow burning releases more toxic gases)
39. Burning copper along with BFRs releases Dioxins, like
PBDD & PBDFs (Highly toxic).
When PVC cables are burnt, hydrogen chloride is released
(HCl corrodes lung tissue)
In Open Burning, lack of oxygen results in CO
poisoning.
Since Controlled Incineration
could decrease volume of
Disposal, it is the next best
method of Waste management.
43. CONCLUSION
This Potential Threat of E-waste must be attended quickly,
before it escalates to an unpreventable peril.
Overcoming our limitations such as- Political, Financial
and Social factors play a major role in its prevention.
Because management of E
waste is costly, it is essential
to educate and promote
research in this matter.
e-rase your
e-waste
