E-waste, or electronic waste, is improperly disposed electronic equipment that can harm human health and the environment. It contains hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium. When e-waste ends up in landfills, these toxins can leach into soil and water sources. Long-term exposure to these heavy metals has been linked to damage to major organs like the brain and kidneys, as well as cancer. The sources discussed include circuit boards, batteries, cathode ray tubes, and electronic manufacturing facilities. Proper e-waste disposal and reduction of waste production are important to minimize health and environmental risks.

The document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) in India. It notes that e-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams worldwide, and that India generates about 350,000 tonnes of e-waste annually and imports another 50,000 tonnes. Most of India's e-waste (over 90%) ends up in the unorganized sector where recycling is done using rudimentary and hazardous methods, exposing workers and the environment to health risks. There is a need for better regulation of e-waste handling and recycling in India.
This is the report created by me as part of the Environmental Course during my BTech degree.
In this pdf, I discuss about the E-Waste. The factors causing it, the health issues due to e-waste, current scenario, potential business model, statistics related to deaths due to e-waste.
E-waste consists of discarded electronic items like computers and appliances. India generates about 9 lakh tonnes of e-waste annually, which is often handled improperly. Exposure to e-waste can cause health issues since it contains toxic materials like lead, mercury, cadmium. Current disposal methods in India like acid baths are unsafe. Proper recycling and enforcement of e-waste laws is needed to protect both workers and the environment from e-waste.
This document discusses electronic waste (e-waste), including its definition, production, composition, disposal issues, health problems, and management. It notes that e-waste includes obsolete or discarded electrical/electronic equipment like computers, TVs, and cell phones. About 50 million metric tons of e-waste are produced globally each year, with improper disposal releasing toxic materials that can harm the environment and human health. The document outlines some steps to properly manage e-waste, including detoxification to remove hazardous components, shredding the materials into pieces, and refining to extract reusable components.
Electronic waste is a rapidly growing problem as obsolete electronics are discarded. India generates around 500,000 tons of e-waste per year, which is expected to increase substantially. Most e-waste in India is handled by the informal sector using unsafe practices like open burning and acid baths, releasing toxic materials into the environment. Proper e-waste management and regulations are needed to promote recycling and reduce environmental contamination from this growing waste stream.
