The Damage of E-waste

Electronic waste, or e-waste, has become anissue of serious concern to the public as a growingnumber of electronic items are discarded in landfillsevery year. Many consumers are not aware that electronics like computers and cell phonesactually contain toxins that can leach out into the soil and damage the environment.

E-waste compounds pose hazards to the environment as well as the human beings. Tostart with, when exposed to heat, the components of e-waste release toxic fumes and gas,polluting the air and causing global environmental problems. When circuit breakersdeteriorate, they release toxins, such as mercury, that pollute groundwater. In addition toits damaging effect on the environment, researchers have now linked e-waste to adverseeffects on human health.

In my view, it’s high time that the damage of e-wasted should be realized by the public andmeasures should be taken to cope with this issue. One idea is to put greater responsibility onthe companies that produce the goods. It should be mandatory for them to taking theabandoned items back and dispose them in an environmentally-friendly manner.
