E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, televisions, and other electronic appliances. E-waste is a growing menace because it is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, and it poses significant environmental and health risks. When electronic devices are not disposed of properly, they can release toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can contaminate the air, water, and soil. These chemicals can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, including causing cancer, birth defects, and damage to the nervous system. Furthermore, e-waste often ends up in landfills, where it takes up space and can contribute to the release of greenhouse gases. Additionally, electronic devices contain valuable resources such as gold, silver, and copper, which are lost when they are not recycled. To address this issue, it is important to promote responsible e-waste disposal practices, such as donating or reselling working electronics, and recycling non-functional devices. Governments can also enact policies and regulations to ensure that e-waste is managed safely and responsibly, and that manufacturers are held responsible for the end-of-life disposal of their products.
