Primitive recycling techniques used in Guiyu expose workers and the local environment to toxic heavy metals and chemicals. Proper e-waste management and recycling is needed to address the health and environmental problems caused by the rapid growth of discarded electronics.
The document discusses managing electronic waste (e-waste) in India. It outlines the main sources of e-waste as imports, government and private sector discards, and individual households. E-waste contains hazardous substances like heavy metals and brominated flame retardants that can harm human health and the environment if not handled properly. The government and industries both have important roles to play in regulating e-waste and promoting environmentally sound recycling and disposal practices.
E-waste poses environmental and health risks if improperly disposed. Hazardous materials in electronics like lead, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants can leach into soil and groundwater from landfills or emit toxic fumes if incinerated. These materials are linked to damage to major organ systems in humans. Growing volumes of e-waste also threaten to contaminate water sources and pollute the air if not managed properly through reuse, recycling, or regulated disposal. Global cooperation is needed to address challenges from e-waste as its improper disposal and export have negative consequences around the world.
The production of electric and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest
growing businesses in the world. In the meantime, both technological
innovation and market expansion of EEE are accelerating the replacement of
outdated EEE, leading to a significant increase in waste EEE (WEEE) or
electronic waste.
A study by UNEP found that every year, 20 to 50 Million tons of E-Waste are
generated worldwide.
It is a crisis of not quantity alone but also a crisis born from toxics ingredients,
posing a threat to the occupational health as well as the environment if they are
landfilled and incinerated.
Green computing aims to reduce the environmental impact of computing through more efficient use of equipment and resources. It promotes the use of power-saving modes, energy efficient equipment, and reducing waste from printing and disposal. The manufacturing and disposal of computer components produces toxic electronic waste due to chemicals like lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium used in production. Most of this waste ends up in landfills and developing countries where improper handling can further spread toxins into the environment. Increased recycling and use of non-toxic materials could help address these environmental issues.
This document discusses e-waste, its effects on the environment, and management strategies. It defines e-waste as electronic and electric products nearing the end of their usable life. E-waste comes from sources like IT equipment, appliances, consumer devices, and medical equipment. When improperly disposed, e-waste releases toxic heavy metals like lead, chromium, cadmium, and mercury that can damage human health and the environment. Effective e-waste management requires efforts from governments, industries, and citizens to implement regulations, reduce waste, encourage recycling and reuse, and make more sustainable product choices.
In this research paper, researcher has tried to focus on What is present scenario of E waste management in India & What are the procedures and methods used in its handling?

For most of us, our name existed even before we did.
In anticipation of our arrival, our parents went through an ultra stressful process of narrowing down dozens of potential names until they chose the perfect one.
Luckily they did, because whatever your name is, it has followed you throughout your entire life; and in some cases, people may have heard of your name before they’ve ever met you.
When it comes to how to name an app, it’s of similar importance as naming a child. The name of your app will follow your brand forever, and in many cases, potential users will hear the name before they ever actually use your app.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

some alkaline batteries and switches
46. Lead in CRT’s
Of the amount of lead contained in a PC, the majority is embedded in glass that makes up the
monitor’s cathode ray tube (CRT).
A CRT is comprised of a panel (the monitor face), the funnel, the neck and the frit.
The majority of the lead is found in the frit, which is the material used to hold panel to
funnel
The total lead in a CRT constitutes, on average, 2.08 pounds for a 17 inch monitor7
Panel CRT 0-2% lead
Frit 65-75% lead
Funnel glass 22-25% lead

60. Why Do We Need National Legislation?
Current eWaste regulations create uneven regulatory regime
• Some states/localities have already enacted legislation
• Difficult for manufacturers to comply state-to-state
• Only large-quantity generators are regulated
• Majority of eWaste created by households & smaller quantity
generators – not currently regulated

•9 ferrous metals: iron, manganese, nickel, chromium etc.
•8 non-ferrous metals: aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, tin, magnesium etc.
•8 precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium etc.
•37 specialty metals: indium, gallium, lithium, tantalum, rare earth metals,
tellurium etc.
–Only a few metals, like iron and platinum, currently have an end-of-life recycling
rate of above 50%
–The most important metric is the end-of-life recycling rate
•A high end-of-life recycling rate for a metal indicates a high efficiency of
the related post -consumer recycling system

The Electronic Waste Recycling and Consumer Protection Act proposes that recycling of eWaste be promoted by offering tax credits of $8 per unit for recyclers who collect 5000 or more units and $15 per unit for consumers who bring their ewaste to be recycled. The Act also calls for ewaste to fall under a stricter category of waste than simply solid waste and eventually, once adequate collection programs exist, become unlawful to dispose of. The Act also prescribes an EPA feasibility study to review the collecting of advance recycling fees, collecting of end of life fees and the possibility of holding manufacturers responsible for the cost of recycling. After one year of enactment the EPA would also be required to assess the success of the program and the possibility of including other electronic waste streams in the Act.
It will be up to manufacturers to notify retailers of those electronic products on which to charge fees. But another aspect of this law is that manufacturers can play a key role in consumer education. Where to return obsolete electronic products for recycling or disposal, how to properly handle and what toll-free phone numbers to call for help will go a long way in resolving this dilemma.
To our knowledge this work represents the first reported cord blood tests for 261 of the targeted chemicals, and the first reported detections of at least 209 chemicals. Scientists refer to this contamination as a person's body burden. The study found a broad array of pollutants that collectively are known to present potential risks to nearly every organ and system in the body:• Of the 287 chemicals found in newborn umbilical cord blood, 180 cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause developmental problems. The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied.• We detected 287 chemicals of 413 tested (69 percent) in umbilical cord blood samples from 10 newborn babies, with a range of between 154 and 231 for each child. We found 101 chemicals in all babies tested.• Our tests targeted nine chemical classes; we detected at least half of the analyzed chemicals in each class.

These are two typical pollution of e-waste recycling in Guiyu. Left hand side is the process using acid to take gold and other metals from printed circuit board. They do not treat wastewater, just discharge it into rivers. Right hand side is the process removing IC tip and solders from printed circuit board, using heat. There are hundreds of such workshop in this area. Several chemicals might cause air pollution.
