This document discusses electronic waste (e-waste) and the need for proper e-waste management. It defines e-waste and lists its main sources. It explains that e-waste contains toxic chemicals that can pollute the environment and harm human health. The document outlines the current problems with e-waste management in India, the recycling processes used, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of proper e-waste management to minimize harm.

3. • 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.

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

5.  E-Waste contains several different substances
 and chemicals, many of which are toxic and are
 likely to create adverse impact on environment
 and health, if not handled properly. However,
 classification of E-waste as hazardous or
 otherwise shall depend upon the extent of
 presence of hazardous constituents in it.

6.  Pollution of Ground-Water.
 Acidification of soil.
 Air Pollution.
 E-Waste accounts for 40 percent of the
lead and 75 percent of the heavy metals
found in landfills.

7.  Damage to central and peripheral nervous systems,
blood systems and kidney damage.
 Affects brain development of children.
 Chronic damage to the brain.
 Respiratory and skin disorders due to
bioaccumulation in fishes.
 Asthmatic bronchitis.
 DNA damage.
 Reproductive and developmental problems.
 Immune system damage.
 Lung Cancer.
 Damage to heart, liver and spleen

8.  In industries management of e-waste
should begin at the point of generation. This
can be done by waste minimization
techniques and by sustainable product
design. Waste minimization in industries
involves adopting:
1. Inventory management,
2. Production-process modification,
3. Volume reduction,
4. Recovery and reuse

9. Mumbai at present tops the list
 Mumbai - 11, 017 tonnes
 Delhi - 9,730 tonnes
 Bangalore - 4,648 tonnes
 Chennai - 4,132 tonnes
 Kolkata- 4,025 tonnes
 Ahmedabad - 3,287 tonnes
 Hyderabad - 2,833 tonnes
 Pune - 2,584 tonnes
 Surat - 1,836 tonnes

10. 1. Treatment Options Of E-Waste.
 Land filling.
 Incineration.
2. Technologies In India.
 E-waste trade value chain.
 Environmentally Sound E-waste Treatment Technology.
 CRT treatment technology.
3. Technology Currently Used in India.
 Decontamination.
 Dismantling.
 Pulverization/ Hammering.
 Shredding.
 Density separation using water.

11.  Industrial Revolution.
 Advancement in Information Technology.
 There mismanagement can lead to the pollution.
 From the data collected, in a single year the
production is around 1200 tons of electronic scrap.
 Production of E-Waste is on mass basis in many
developed countries including India.
 This waste is not Eco-friendly.
 Hence there is a need to check this electronic
waste pollution by proper management.

13.  E-waste is going to create lot of problems in
future.
 E-Waste management is of utmost importance.
 Proper management is necessary to minimize
its ill effects on human beings and nature.
