#1.WHAT IS E-WASTE ?
• Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded
electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics
which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage,
recycling, or disposal are also considered e-waste.
Informal processing of e-waste in developing
countries can lead to adverse human health effects
and environmental pollution.
#2. Sources of E-Waste.
1. Waste generated from the products used for data processing
such as computers, computer devices like monitor, speakers,
keyboards, printers etc.
2. Electronic devices used for entertainment like TV, DVDs, and CD
players.
3. Equipment or devices used for communication like phones,
landline phones, fax etc.
4. Household equipment’s like vacuum cleaner, microwave ovens,
washing machines, air conditioners etc.
5. Audio, visual components such as VCRs, Stereo equipment etc.
#3. TYPES OF E-WASTE
E-WASTE
Mouse,Keyboards
and other
electronic devices
Televisions
Mobile Phones
Personal electronic
devices
Laptops & monitors.
Scanners, printers &
copiers.
Audio-Video Equipment's.
#4. EFFECTS OF E-WASTE ON THE
ENVIRONMENT.
• Emissions from E-Waste create environmental
damage.
• Toxic chemicals from e-waste enter the "soil-crop-
food pathway,“
• These are non-biodegradable and cause soil
pollution.
• E-Waste dumping yards and nearby places are
polluted and cause health hazards.
#5. EFFECTS OF E-WASTE ON HUMAN BODY
Element Effect on human body.
Lead Damage to central and peripheral nervous systems , blood systems and kidney damage.
Affects brain development of children.
Chromium Asthmatic Bronchitis . DNA damage.
Cadmium Toxic irreversible effects on human health. Accumulates in kidney and liver. Causes neural
damage .Teratogenic.
Mercury Chronic damage to brain and respiratory system.
Plastics
including PVC
Burning produces dioxin. It causes reproductive and developmental problems ; Immune
system damage ; Interfere with regulatory hormones.
And many more…..
#6. HOW THESE BECOME E-WASTE?
Reasons:
 Advancement in technology.
 Changes in style fashion and status
 Nearing the end of their useful life
 Not taking precautions while
handling them.
#7. METHODS OF DISPOSAL OF E-WASTE
WHY WE SHOULD ENSURE SAFE DISPOSAL OF THESE?
1. Land fill disposal allows heavy metals to leach into ground water.
2. Incineration makes hazardous material airborne.
3. Acid baths are dangerous and cause water and soil contamination.
4. To ensure exported materials are handled properly.
Methods
Disassembly/Dismantling : It is the systematic removal of
components , parts or a group of parts or a subassembly from
a product in E-waste.
Upgrading : It includes comminuting and separation of materials
using mechanical/physical or metallurgical processing . Methods to
recover materials include incineration and refining.
Materials recovery : The materials are recovered by recycling
facilities. The plastic ,glass, metals can be recovered by sorting
them before mixing them with other waste.
THE MOST IMPORTANT METHOD IS RECYCLING
#8. ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLING E-WASTE.
• ASSET RECOVERY
• REDUCTION OF NEED FOR LANDFILLS
• REDUCTION OF JUNK AND CLUTTERS
• RESALE AND REUSE
• CREATION OF JOBS
#9.WHY E-WASTE MANAGEMENT ?
• Pollution of ground water.
• Acidification of soil.
• Emission of toxic fumes and gases.
• It is the fastest growing portion of municipal waste.
• Releases harmful gases into the air.
#10. STATISTICS
According to statistics we are generating more
than 40 million tons of e-waste a year and only
27% of this is recycled.
India is in the 5th position in the generation of
e-waste.(Being the largest user of smart phones this ranks may
increase in the future.)
#12. CONCLUSION
• E waste has emerged as one of the fastest growing waste
streams world wide today.
• Electronic gadgets, without proper disposal can cause
environmental harm
• Reuse and Recycle are more beneficial than simple disposal
• Designing of products using environment friendly raw items
can make a change.
• Awareness of e-waste should be given
• Government shall take steps to reduce e-waste disposal.
