what are the effects of improper disposal of electronic waste?any solutions?

Answer 1

Consumer electronic goods that are discarded are sometimes called electronic waste or e-waste. They may contain valuable material (like copper wires and gold used for conductor contact surfaces) and materials and trace elements that can cause toxic effects to humans or plants or animals. Such trace elements may include lead, zinc, cadmium, and perhaps a little mercury. Leaching of these trace elements from disposal sites can contaminate water supplies and poison fish and aquatic organisms. Plastics used may include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which can cause air pollution when burned.

The best solutions are for manufacturers to incorporate pollution prevention practices into their business practices, for instance: (1) design and fabricate their electronic products to contain little or none of the potentially toxic materials, and (2) operate exchange and take-back policies so that e-waste is collected and recycled or disposed of properly as part of the sale of new products. Other solutions are for consumers to repair and reuse electronic products rather than dispose of them. If that's not possible, e-waste should be segregated from usual municipal waste and, as appropriate, be disposed of as potentially hazardous material.
