E-waste is the disposal of any type of technology that ultimately produces hazardous radiation that is deadly to both the environment and the people who expose themselves to these waste. Since 1992, global society has become increasingly aware of the dangers of electronic waste. People throw away so much stuff because the manufacturers of phones, computers, laptops, TVs and iPods are constantly making and updating technology because there is a very demanding consumerist society and companies that have constantly have sums of money to be won. People buy and throw away so many things, very often to have the latest and greatest technology, which leaves the problem of e-waste. E-waste is a serious problem as an alarming 87.5% of technology is thrown into landfills or incinerated each year in comparison. at a pathetic 12.5% ​​which is actually recycled. Disposing of electronics in landfills only causes extreme environmental complications, as none of the major components of electronics are biodegradable and, over time, will only cause serious radiation problems and will typically turn acres of land into toxic waste grounds. Incineration technology is just as dangerous as people inhale deadly fumes daily, especially in Ghana; the largest e-waste dump in the world. This type of pollution is found in people's food and water supplies, making daily life a challenge in itself. Fumes emitted from burning electronic devices include lead, found in circuit boards, the glass of television and computer screens, which is deadly to the central and peripheral nervous systems, blood system and kidneys and has serious serious effects on fetal development and breastfeeding of infants. Mercury is found primarily in all fluorines......middle of paper......to recover any amount of copper (which is quite expensive). They are forced to persevere daily in the face of all the toxins, radiation, pollution and inevitable deadly health risks, just to be able to live. This is the despair that these people living primarily in poverty and on toxic lands must expose themselves to, without the help of health insurance, first aid, easy access to hospitals or even water. drinkable. Ms Simmons should recycle her abundance of computers responsibly to Australian councils now offer e-waste recycling services. Throwing your trash into any dumpster can ultimately land you a fine for recklessly disposing of a potential toxic threat to the environment and if something alarming were to happen to these destroyed computers, people could be exposed radiation and possibly irreparable damage to their organs - worst case scenario..
