Electronic product made our life easy by saving time and being efficient.
Communication systems have revolutionaries by way of mobile phones. Entertainment product like television and music system have added enjoyment to our life.
Electronic product needs to be treated as a hazardous waste.
There is no generally accepted definition of E-Waste.
E-Waste is nothing but the end of life of electronic products, like computer, printer, mobile phones, TV etc.
E-waste term used to cover almost all type of electrical and electronic equipment(EEE).
According EPA, more than 4 million tons of E-Waste go to U.S. landfills each year.
Wasted Electronic Equipments
E-Waste is growing due to increasing the product of electronic equipments and daily modification in our generation.
The markets in which these products are produced which is growing rapidly as many parts of the world.
Old computers and mobiles are being dumped in world where they are releasing toxic materials into the environment.
If treated properly, electronic waste is a valuable source for secondary raw materials. However, if not treated properly, it is a major source of toxins.
Discarded electronics contains hazardous materials.
Local governments are facing huge costs to handle e-waste, and even greater costs if they do not capture this toxic stream and handle it in an appropriate manner.
Source of e-
wastes
Constituent Health effects
Solar in
PCB,glass panels and
gaskets
In monitors
Lead (PB) Damage to nervous systems, blood
systems and kidney damage.
Affects brain development of children.
resistors and
semiconductors
Cadmium (CD) Toxic irreversible effects on human
health.
Accumulates in kidney and liver.
Causes neural damage.
Relays and
switches
Mercury (Hg) Chronic damage to the brain.
Respiratory and skin disorders due to
bioaccumulation in fishes.
Cabling and
computer
housing
Plastics
including PVC
Burning produces dioxin. It causes
Reproductive and developmental problems
Immune system damage
Land filling
Incineration
Recycling of E-waste
Re-use of E-Waste
It is one of the most widely used methods for disposal of e-waste.
Compacted Solid waste is placed in a hole, and covered with soil
Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials.
Material is burned in specially designed incinerators at a high temperature (900-1000oC).By incineration method some environmentally hazardous organic substances are converted into less hazardous compounds.
Electronic and electrical equipments cannot be avoided in today’s world, because the condition is that we are addicted of electronic equipments.
If we follow all the treatment methods and Reuse, Reduce & Recycle the E-Waste then,“WE CAN SURELY SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH”
THANK
YOU
