ELECTRONIC WASTE
Electronic waste, \"e-waste\" or
\"Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment\" (\"WEEE\") is a waste
consisting of any broken or
unwanted electrical or electronic
appliance.
It is a point of concern considering
that many components of such
equipment are considered toxic
and are not biodegradable.

SOURCES OF WEEE
• IT & Telecom Equipments
• Large Household Appliances
• Small Household Appliances
• Consumer & Lighting Equipments
• Electrical & Electronic Tools
• Toys, Leisure & Sports Equipment
• Medical Devices
• Monitoring & Control Instruments

Over 75 million current mobile users
expected to increase to
200 million by 2008 end.

…an estimated 30,000 computers
become obsolete every year
from the IT industry in Bangalore alone

At present, India has about
16 million computers
which are expected to grow
to 75 million computers
by 2010

Over 2 million old PCs
ready for disposal in India

E-WASTE : A SAFETY ISSUE
• Discarded electronics
contain hazardous materials.
• If disposed improperly, they
pose a potential threat to
human health and the
environment.
• May contaminate
groundwater
• E-Waste accounts for 40
percent of the lead and 75
percent of the heavy metals
found in landfills.

E-WASTE : A REAL ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT
Element Harmful Effects
•
Lead Extremely harmful to the human body;
• Damages both the central and peripheral nervous
systems;
• Can cause seizures, retardation, high blood
pressure, damage to the kidneys and liver;
• Adversely affects child development
•
Beryllium Long term exposure can be carcinogenic,
especially for the lungs.
• Extreme exposure can lead to a potentially fatal
condition known as Acute Beryllium Disease

• Causes severe damage to the digestive tract
•
Mercury Attacks the central nervous and endocrine
systems;
